Current request is not of type MultipartHttpServletRequest

I'm trying to send an image + object from Angular to Spring Boot but everytime I try I get this error:
Current request is not of type [org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartHttpServletRequest]
This is my Angular code:
addPostWithIMG(image: File, postRequest: PostRequest): Subscription {
const headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.append('Content-Type', ' multipart/form-data content');
var file: FormData = new FormData();
file.append('file', image);
file.append('postRequest', JSON.stringify(postRequest));
console.log(file)
return this.http.post<PostRequest>(`${this.baseUrl + "multi"}`, file, {headers: headers}).subscribe({
next: (data: any) => {
console.log(data)
},
error: (err: any) => {
console.error(err)
},
complete: () => {
console.log("Done")
}
});
}
This my Spring Boot side:
#PostMapping(path = "multi")
public String multi(MultipartHttpServletRequest request) throws IOException {
String postJSON = request.getParameter("postRequest");
PostRequest = new Gson().fromJson(post, PostRequest.class);
MultipartFile file = request.getFile("file");
Binary files = new Binary(file.getBytes());
File fileToSave = new File("Post/src/main/resources/" + postRequest.getPostId() + ".png");
log.info("file: {}", fileToSave.getAbsolutePath());
if (!fileToSave.exists()) {
log.info("file created: {}", fileToSave);
fileToSave.createNewFile();
} else {
log.info("file already exist: {}", fileToSave);
}
// Try-with-resource
try (OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileToSave.getAbsolutePath())) {
out.write(files.getData());
out.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "Image saved";
}
Can Anyone help me to find the reason of thi exception
Thank you very much

Try to don't add:
headers.append('Content-Type', ' multipart/form-data content');

I want to download a file from the frontend, need to send input stream to the frontend. Using download link to download file from backend

The code below uses a protected url ,username password to get the files to download. I can only manage to download the file in the springboot folder. I want to send the file data to the frontend to have it download there to your downloads.
I might be wrong but I need to send the inputstream to the frontend, then download that data to a file? Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong when trying to send this data to the frontend.

How to download excel file in spring boot using HttpHeaders?

I am getting a resulting file but in the response I am getting gibberish symbols
here is the code I am trying
public ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource> getExcel(String filePath) throws Exception {
try {
Path excelPath = Paths.get(filePath);
byte[] excel = Files.readAllBytes(excelPath);
ByteArrayInputStream excelToByte = new ByteArrayInputStream(excel);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM);
headers.add("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=ABCGeneratedExcel.xls");
return ResponseEntity
.ok()
.headers(headers)
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
.body(new InputStreamResource(excelToByte));
}
catch (NoSuchFileException e) {
System.out.prinln("does not exist");
}

You should use HttpServletResponse instead. And let Spring framework initialize it by declaring as Controller method's parameter. Because you will write the excel file as binary stream, do not define the return type.
Then write the response stream after setting the contentType and header for excel downloading.
public void getExcel(String filePath, HttpServletResponse response) {
byte[] excel = Files.readAllBytes(excelPath);
String fileName = "anyFileName.xlsx"
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName);
response.getWriter().write(excel); // in fact, you need to surround this by try-catch block
}

Path filePath = pathToFolder.resolve(fileName).normalize();
Resource resource = new UrlResource(filePath.toUri());
if (resource.exists()) {
return resource;
} else {
throw new NotFoundException(String.format("File %s not found", fileName));
}
Where path to File - in your directory, and file name - name of file in your directory.
Next step is:
Resource resource = service.downloadFile(fileName);
String contentType = null;
try {
contentType = request.getServletContext().getMimeType(resource.getFile().getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e) {
log.info("Could not determine file type");
}
if (contentType == null) {
contentType = MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_VALUE;
}
return ResponseEntity
.ok()
.contentType(MediaType.parseMediaType(contentType))
.header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, String.format(
"%s; filename=%s", content.name().toLowerCase(), resource.getFilename()
)
)
.body(resource);
Where first %s - attachment - for downloading, and inline - for rendering file in the browser.
Second %s - name of file (note that if you are storing your file in the file system, use file name with extension).

Unable to download file in Spring MVC

My Controller to which the request is mapped-
I return the value from AJAX, to the controller-
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
contentType:"application/json",
url:"/Putty/downloadProcess/?param="+param
});
#RequestMapping(value = "/downloadProcess", method = RequestMethod.GET)
protected void download(#RequestParam("param") String value, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
Properties prop = new Properties();
InputStream input = new FileInputStream("config.properties");;
prop.load(input);
System.out.println(value);
String path = prop.getProperty("path.MS1");
String filepath= path.concat(value);
System.out.println(filepath);
File downloadFile = new File(filepath);
FileInputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(downloadFile);
String mimeType = "application/octet-stream";
System.out.println("MIME type: " + mimeType);
// modifies response
response.setContentType(mimeType);
response.setContentLength((int) downloadFile.length());
// forces download
String headerKey = "Content-Disposition";
String headerValue = String.format("attachment; filename=\"%s\"", downloadFile);
response.setHeader(headerKey, headerValue);
System.out.println(response);
// obtains response's output stream
OutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead = -1;
while ((bytesRead = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
outStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
inStream.close();
outStream.close();
This displays the filenames on my JSP
<c:forEach var="listValue" items="${files}">
<label onClick="download('${listValue}')">${listValue}</label>
<br>
</c:forEach>
The problem is that, I can see the MIME type on my console, along with the value returned by AJAX- The filename. But I do not get the Download dialog box, when I click on the file names, displayed on my JSP. Am I not handling the requests properly or I am missing something else.
Thanks!

Try it
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
if (file.isFile())
{
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + downloadFile.getName() + "\"");
try (FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(downloadFile ))
{
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, out);
}
}

The Open/Save dialogue appears by default so we can not force anything. It is a browser specific settings that you cant change on the client side.

Ajax call to download pdf file in jsp

I've tried to open itext created pdf file using jsp code but not opening valid pdf file.
BTW if I'll open pdf in generated path then it is valid generated pdf.
<%
//code to generate pdf on file location.
String pdfurl = filePDF.getAbsolutePath();
File pdf = null;
try {
System.out.println("pdfurl : " + pdfurl);
response.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");
pdf = new File(pdfurl);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=checklist.pdf");
response.setHeader("Accept-Ranges", "bytes");
response.setContentLength((int) pdf.length());
OutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(pdf);
BufferedInputStream buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
int readBytes = 0;
while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1) {
sos.write(readBytes);
}
System.out.println("Finished writing bytes to output stream.");
sos.flush();
sos.close();
input.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (null != pdf && pdf.exists() && !pdf.isDirectory()) {
try {
pdf.delete();
System.out.println("Deleted file from " + pdfurl + " successfully");
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error while deleting pdf from : " + pdfurl);
}
}
}
%>
And angularJS code for ajax call:
pfqa.createDocument = function(action,data){
$("body").addClass("loading");
var deferred = $q.defer();
var paramJsonObj= {
'userId' : userId,
};
var data = angular.copy(paramJsonObj);
data = angular.toJson(data);
$http({
url : 'services/downloadPDF.jsp',
dataType: 'json',
method : 'POST',
headers : {
'Content-type' : 'application/json',
},
data: {data: paramJsonObj},
responseType : 'arraybuffer'
}).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
var file = new Blob([ data ], {
type : 'application/json'
});
var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = fileURL;
a.target = '_blank';
a.download = 'checklist.pdf';
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
});
$("body").removeClass("loading");
}
Please guide me what I'm missing here.

What you are missing here is :
Use : application/pdf instead of application/json
$http({
url : 'services/downloadPDF.jsp',
dataType: 'json',
method : 'POST',
headers : {
'Content-type' : 'application/pdf',
},
data: {data: paramJsonObj},
responseType : 'arraybuffer'
}).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
var file = new Blob([ data ], {
type : 'application/pdf'
});
var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = fileURL;
a.target = '_blank';
a.download = 'checklist.pdf';
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
}).error(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
That's it !!!
