I have a spring MVC REST service that is supposed to receive mixed mime content. The controller is defined as
@POST
@Path("/createMime")
@Consumes("multipart/mixed")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public String createMime(@Context ServletContext servletContext, MultipartInput input) throws MyRestException {
logger.info("Processing /createMime");
return "TEST";
}
When i test the above i get the following error:
17:18:58,456 WARN [org.jboss.resteasy.core.SynchronousDispatcher] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) Failed executing POST services/createMime: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnsupportedMediaTypeException: Cannot consume content type

If i change the @Consumes annotation so that it uses @Consumes("multipart/form-data")
instead of @Consumes("multipart/mixed")
then it works. What do i need to do to get it to work with multipart/mixed?
Here is how i am using the client to send the content to the REST service.
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/MyRestService/rest/services/createMime");
Scanner scanner =
new Scanner(new File("header.xml")).useDelimiter("\\Z");
String messageHeader = scanner.next();
scanner.close();
FileBody bin = new FileBody(new File("myImage.jpg"));
StringBody header = new StringBody(messageHeader.toString());
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
reqEntity.addPart("header", header);
reqEntity.addPart("payload", bin);
httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
I have been struggling with this for quite a while so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Did you check the content type of the request? I believe that you client to send the content to REST
service is posting a multipart/form-data
request.
To understand how to send a multipart/mixed request
, you should look at the documentation of multipart
content type at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html, the section 7.2.1 suggests that boundary
should be specified and used.
Basically, you need to follow below point to make a multipart/mixed
request.
Include the boundary in the header
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=gc0p4Jq0M2Yt08jU534c0p
Each of the part in the request should have --boundary
--gc0p4Jq0M2Yt08jU534c0p
Last part should consist of --boundary--
--gc0p4Jq0M2Yt08jU534c0p--
