Jersey Grizzly Rest How to extract "form-data" parameters - rest

Question

Consider following function:
#POST
#Path("/handle_response")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public ResponseJsonBean handle(#FormParam("first") Integer first, #FormParam("second") Integer second)
{
////// bla bla
}
The above function is called when I make a POST x-www-form-urlencoded request. But the function is not called when I make POST form data request. Why it is not called in the latter case? and how can I make such function which works for latter request.

Answer 1

Yeah application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data are complete different types and formats. The correct provider to read the request is discovered through the type sent.
For multipart support, you should add the Jersey multipart dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-multipart</artifactId>
<version>${jersey2.version}</version>
</dependency>
Then in your resource method do something like
#POST
#Path("/upload")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Consumes({MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA})
public Response uploadFile(
#FormDataParam("file") InputStream fileInputStream,
#FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition cdh) throws Exception{
}
