public Object updateData(@RequestHeader String deviceToken, @RequestBody FormFields[]      
formFields,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

//some code
}

please guide me to how to accept the multipart data in the web service method.

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

@RequestMapping(
value ="/workitems/updateData",method=RequestMethod.POST ,headers="Accept=application/xml, application/json")
    public @ResponseBody
    Object updateData(HttpServletResponse response,@RequestHeader String deviceToken,
            @RequestParam ("file") MultipartFile file) throws Exception {



}

You can support it as above.

Answer 2

You can use normal Upload technique which you use in Servlet - commons-fileupload.jar way.

The same code placed in a method inside your controller will work fine. Make sure you pass HttpServletRequest object to your method.
