Error :- MessageType definition error: [simple type, class java.io.FileDescriptor]; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: No serializer found for class java.io.FileDescriptor and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain: org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest$StandardMultipartFile["inputStream"]->java.io.FileInputStream["fd"]) MessageType definition error: [simple type, class java.io.FileDescriptor]; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidDefinitionException: No serializer found for class java.io.FileDescriptor and no properties discovered to create BeanSerializer (to avoid exception, disable SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS) (through reference chain: org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest$StandardMultipartFile["inputStream"]->java.io.FileInputStream["fd"]) File Store Api Not Calling through RestTemplate due to above error.

API-1:- File Store Api

    List<UploadFileDto> wrongTypeFile = files.stream().

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue , but using the below code i fixed it.

@RequestMapping("/upload")
public void postData(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
      String url = "https://localhost:8080/upload";
     MultiValueMap<String, Object> bodyMap = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
      bodyMap.add("file", new FileSystemResource(convert(file)));
      HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
      headers.setContentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA);
      HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<>(bodyMap, headers);
      RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
      ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url,
              HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, String.class);
    }
  public static File convert(MultipartFile file)
  {    
    File convFile = new File(file.getOriginalFilename());
    try {
        convFile.createNewFile();
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(convFile); 
            fos.write(file.getBytes());
            fos.close(); 
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 

    return convFile;
 }

I solve this issue by adding the these line's

files.stream().forEach(file -> {
   System.out.println(file.getOriginalFilename());
   Resource resouceFile = new FileSystemResource(file.getBytes(), file.getOriginalFilename());
   body.add("files",  resouceFile);
});


public static class FileSystemResource extends ByteArrayResource {

    private String fileName;

    public FileSystemResource(byte[] byteArray , String filename) {
        super(byteArray);
        this.fileName = filename;
    }

    public String getFilename() { return fileName; }
    public void setFilename(String fileName) { this.fileName= fileName; }

}
