Multipart File upload Spring Boot

Question

Im using Spring Boot and want to use a Controller to receive a multipart file upload. When sending the file I keep getting the error 415 unsupported content type

Answer 1

In Controller, your method should be;

@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ResponseEntity uploadAttachment(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file, HttpServletRequest request) {
....

Further, you need to update application.yml (or application.properties) to support maximum file size and request size.

spring:
    http:
        multipart:
            max-file-size: 5MB
            max-request-size: 20MB
