Can we use multipart and @RequestBody together in spring?

Question

I want to create a API which can have parameter as multipart file and JSON object (@RequestBody). Please find following snippet while calling this API. I am getting HTTP 415 Uns

You can use @RequestPart like below. This will support both json object and multipart file.

@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity
saveReport(@RequestPart (value="reportFile") MultipartFile reportFile,
           @RequestPart LabPatientInfo reportData) throws IOException {

In order to test it using curl you can create one file for your json part (reportData). Say for example you create "mydata.json" file and paste your json payload in it. And say your reportFile is "report.txt". Now you can send request using curl like below.

curl -v -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -F "reportData=@mydata.json;type=application/json" -F "reportFile=@report.txt;type=text/plain"  http://localhost:8080/MyApp/lab/saveReport
