Exception :com.sun.jersey.spi.inject.Errors$ErrorMessagesException

Question

I am using the Jersey API for the web services. I am sending the multipart data from client to server. I am getting exception when web services start to execute.

@POST
@Path("uploadphoto")
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
@Produces("text/plain")
public String uploadNotices(@FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream, @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {
    String uploadedFileLocation = "d:/" + fileDetail.getFileName();
    // save it
    try {
        writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
    } catch(Exception e) {
        return "no";
    }
    return "yes";
}

// save uploaded file to new location
private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream, String uploadedFileLocation) throws Exception {
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadedFileLocation));
    int read = 0;
    byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];

    out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadedFileLocation));
    while ((read = uploadedInputStream.read(bytes)) != -1) {
        out.write(bytes, 0, read);
    }
    out.flush();
    out.close();
}

Answer 1

It seems your missing few jars in your project.Try adding these to your project:

jersey-multipart.jar

mimepull.jar

If you are using maven, you can add this dependency:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-multipart</artifactId>
        <version>1.8</version>
    </dependency>

Change the version of jar if you need

Also make sure that the version of your jersey-multipart jar should be same as the version of jersey bundle jar

Answer 2

Forgetting to add @POST or @Get on top of the method name will also cause this error

Answer 3

It faced me the same error because having same @Path annotations with the same path names( strings).

@Path('samepath')   /// samepath cause Jersey Error at run time.
/* Method 1*/

@Path('samepath')
/* Method 2 */

Answer 4

com.sun.jersey.spi.inject.Errors$ErrorMessagesException

occured when I had two @GET methods with the same path but different query params.

Also it may happen if you rename your controller class, do mvn install without mvn clean and put war file to /webapps folder.
