MULTIPART_FORM_DATA: No injection source found for a parameter of type public javax.ws.rs.core.Response

Question

I am using Jersey based restful Service implementation strategy to build a service which will be used to upload files. My service class name is : UploadFileService.java (See

Get rid of jersey-multipart-1.18.jar. That is for Jersey 1.x. Add these two

• jersey-media-multipart-2.17
• mimepull-1.9.3

For Maven you would use the following dependency (you don't need to explicitly add the mimepull dependency, as this one will pull it in).

    org.glassfish.jersey.media
    jersey-media-multipart
    2.17 

Then you need to register the MultiPartFeature. If you are using a ResourceConfig for configuration, you can simply do

register(MultiPartFeature.class);

If you are using web.xml, then you can add the class as an to the Jersey servlet

    jersey.config.server.provider.classnames
    org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPartFeature

Note that if you have multiple providers that you want to register, then you can delimit each provider class with a comma or semicolon. You cannot use this same param-name twice. See Suarabh's answer

UPDATE

Also, once you get rid of jersey-multipart-1.18.jar you will have compile errors for the missing imported classes. For the most part, the class names are still the same, just the packages have changed, i.e.

• org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataParam
• org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataContentDisposition

For Dropwizard

If you're using Dropwizard, instead of adding the jersey-media-multipart, they document for your to add dropwizard-forms instead. And instead of registering the MultiPartFeature, you should register the MultiPartBundle

@Override
public void initialize(Bootstrap bootstrap) {
    bootstrap.addBundle(new MultiPartBundle());
}

Really doesn't make much difference though as all the Dropwizard bundle does is register the MultiPartFeature with the ResourceConfig.
