I am new to REST API. I want to upload user selected file to the user provided path(remote or local path) using REST API. My html file is having 1 text box and 1 file chooser. User will enter FilePath (local or remote machine folder location) in the text box. Please suggest how to solve this issue.

Here is my code:

FileUpload.html::

<body>
    <form action="rest/file/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <p>
            Select a file : <input type="file" name="file" size="45" />
        </p>
        <p>Target Upload Path : <input type="text" name="path" /></p>
        <input type="submit" value="Upload It" />
   </form>
</body>

UploadFileService.java

@Path("/file")
public class UploadFileService {

    @POST
    @Path("/upload")
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    public Response uploadFile(
            @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
            @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail,
            @FormParam("path") String path) {

        /*String uploadedFileLocation = "d://uploaded/"                                                                 + fileDetail.getFileName();*/

        /*String uploadedFileLocation = //10.217.14.88/Installables/uploaded/"                                                                  + fileDetail.getFileName();*/
        String uploadedFileLocation = path
                + fileDetail.getFileName();

        // save it
        writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);

        String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;

        return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();

    }

    // save uploaded file to new location
    private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream,
            String uploadedFileLocation) {

        try {
            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();
        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

Can we upload file using REST API?

Use the File transfer REST API to upload and download files using HTTP or HTTPS as the transport protocol and to list the contents of a directory. Uploads a file to any back-end application that supports REST APIs over HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

Can I upload file using HTTP?

A multipart request is a HTTP request that HTTP clients construct to send files and data over to a HTTP Server. It is commonly used by browsers and HTTP clients to upload files to the server.

I have updated signature of method in below class and its working fine. Instead of @FormParam, used @FormDataParam("path") String path and it solved my issue. Below is the updated code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.FormParam;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import com.sun.jersey.core.header.FormDataContentDisposition;
import com.sun.jersey.multipart.FormDataParam;

@Path("/file")
public class UploadFileService {

@POST
@Path("/upload")
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(
        @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
        @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail,
        @FormDataParam("path") String path) {


    // Path format //10.217.14.97/Installables/uploaded/
    System.out.println("path::"+path);
    String uploadedFileLocation = path
            + fileDetail.getFileName();

    // save it
    writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);

    String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;

    return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();

}

// save uploaded file to new location
private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream,
        String uploadedFileLocation) {

    try {
        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();
    } catch (IOException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

   }

   }
