EDIT: adding the application.properties:
#max file and request size
spring.http.multipart.max-file-size=10MB
spring.http.multipart.max-request-size=11MB
spring.http.multipart.enabled=true
Does anyone see where the problem is?

Answer 1

According to https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-multipart-file-upload-configuration
It is recommended to use the container’s built-in support for
multipart uploads rather than introducing an additional dependency
such as Apache Commons File Upload.
When you create a multipartResolver bean of type CommonsMultipartResolver then no MultipartConfigElement bean is auto configured by MultipartAutoConfiguration.
So I think
either you should use Spring Boot auto configuration that will create
multipartConfigElement:javax.servlet.MultipartConfigElement
multipartResolver:org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver beans
or create your own CommonsMultipartResolver + MultipartConfigElement beans together.

Answer 2

While Sending Request in Postman
Header:
Content-Type multipart/form-data
Body:(form-data)
key file: image (browse image which u want to upload)
Key text:String that u want to sent.

Answer 3

the solution is to make the json script in file with extension json and pass it as the image with #RequestParam or #requestpart it worked corectly
