Posting a file and JSON data to Spring rest service

Appending the values to the URL what u have been doing now using @RequestParam.

@RequestParam annotation will not work for complex JSON Objects , it is specifi for Integer or String .

If it is a Http POST method , use of @RequestBody will make the Spring to map the incoming request to the POJO what u have created (condition: if the POJO maps the incoming JSON)

create FormData() and append your json and file

 if (form.validate()) { var file = $scope.file; var fd = new FormData(); fd.append('jsondata', $scope.jsonData); fd.append('file', file); MyService.submitFormWithFile('doc/store.html', fd, '', (response){ console.log(response) }); } 

//Service called in above

 MyService.submitFormWithFile = function(url, data, config, callback) { $http({ method : 'POST', url : url, headers : { 'Content-Type' : undefined }, data : data, transformRequest : function(data, headersGetterFunction) { return data; } }).success(function(response, status, header, config) { if (status === 200) { callback(response); } else { console.log("error") } }).error(function(response, status, header, config) { console.log(response); }); }; 

// in your java part using ObjectMapper

//it is like string fd.append('jsondata', JSON.stringify($scope.jsonData)); @Autowired private ObjectMapper mapper; @RequestMapping(value = "/companies", method = RequestMethod.POST) public void createCompany(@RequestParam String jsondata, @RequestParam(required = true) MultipartFile file){ CompanyDto companyDto=mapper.readValue(jsondata, CompanyDTO.class); ...... } 

Use below code snippet:

 @RequestMapping(value= "/path", method=RequestMethod.POST, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE) public ResponseObject methodName(MyData input, @RequestParam(required=false) MultipartFile file) { // To Do } 

While consuming a form-data input, the request parameters can only be in key-value format. Hence, you cannot directly use a POJO as a request parameter.

For your use case, you can do something like:

// RequestBody will be the JSON body which can be mapped to a POJO. public void createCompany(Multipart file, String requestBody) { // Parse the requestBody into POJO. }
