File upload issue with Spring MVC REST

I have Spring MVC based REST application. Trying to upload a file. Here is the code snippet.

webmvc-config.xml

<bean class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver" id="multipartResolver"> <property name="maxUploadSize" value="2000000" /> </bean> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver"> <property name="order" value="0" /> <property name="defaultContentType"> <ref bean="htmlMediaType" /> </property> <property name="mediaTypes"> <map> <entry key="json" value="application/json" /> <entry key="xml" value="application/xml" /> <entry key="file" value="multipart/form-data"/> </map> </property> <property name="defaultViews"> <list> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView" /> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.xml.MarshallingView"> <property name="marshaller"> <bean class="org.springframework.oxm.castor.CastorMarshaller" /> </property> </bean> </list> </property> 

FileUploadController.java

@Controller @RequestMapping("/appfiles") public class FileUploadController { private String saveDirectory = "C:/Downloads/"; @RequestMapping(value = "/appfiles", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes="multipart/form-data", produces="application/json") public ResponseEntity<List<Map<String, String>>> save( @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) { System.out.println("received file with original filename: " + file.getOriginalFilename()); // List<MultipartFile> files = uploadForm.getFiles(); List<Map<String, String>> response = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>(); Map<String, String> responseMap = new HashMap<String, String>(); List<String> fileNames = new ArrayList<String>(); if (null != file) { // for (MultipartFile multipartFile : files) { String fileName = file.getOriginalFilename(); fileNames.add(fileName); try { file.transferTo(new File(saveDirectory + file.getOriginalFilename())); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } responseMap.put("displayText", file.getOriginalFilename()); responseMap.put("fileSize", ""+file.getSize()); response.add(responseMap); HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders(); httpHeaders.add("Accept", "application/json"); return new ResponseEntity<List<Map<String, String>>>(response, httpHeaders, HttpStatus.OK); } } 

I get the following error when I use chrome extension "postman"

Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver.parseRequest(CommonsMultipartResolver.java:163) org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver.resolveMultipart(CommonsMultipartResolver.java:139) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.checkMultipart(DispatcherServlet.java:1020) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doDispatch(DispatcherServlet.java:883) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doService(DispatcherServlet.java:852) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:882) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doPost(FrameworkServlet.java:789) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:641) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722) 

postname submission is done with the following details:

Headers conent-type: multipart/form-data Form-data: file=<filename.txt> Method=POST 

Can you please let me know what is wrong with my code?

Thanks & Regards
