Java RESTful file upload question

Question

I am learning now REST and Spring and I have to do some starting project, to get used with the technologies. So, I made a RESTful application after some tutorials and I have some problems with uploading files to the service.

When I hit the Run On Server option in eclipse in the context menu of FileUpload.html, it gives me a HTTP Status 404 - Not Found. I run the html file and it can't find it. I don't understand why. I have to say that other actions, like @GET are working properly. So when I access from the browser some address for a GET method, it works. So if some of you know something, please let me know because I really don't get it. Thanks

Here is the GalleryResource class:

@Path("/locations")
public class GalleryResource {
    private GalleryService galleryService = new PicturesGalleryService();

    @POST
    @Path("/upload")
    @Consumes("multipart/form-data")
    public Response uploadFile(
            @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
            @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {

        String newFile= "c:/gallery/"
                + fileDetail.getFileName();

        FileUtiles.createNewPicture(newFile);

        String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;

        return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();

    }
}

Here is the sample web page:

<html>
<body> 
    <form action="http://localhost:8080/locations/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

      <input type="file" name="file"/> 
      <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
    </form> 
</body>
</html>

Here is the directory tree of my project:

Answer 1

Do you get a log entry saying that it loaded GalleryResource? Also, if you change your @Path("/locations") to something unique from the classes that use @GET does it work? So change it to @Path("/locationsUpload"). I've had issues before with multiple files using the same path entry.

Answer 2

Are you sure this:

http://localhost:8080/locations/upload

is correct?

And should not include the name of the your project before the resource path, like:

http://localhost:8080/RESTservice/locations/upload

?

Answer 3

Is it a spring web application?

I am missing:

the spring web configuration file (in most cases a seperate file but sometimes included in applicationContext.xml)
The part of the web.xml where spring is configured and started

Did you really tryed to start the server from the HTML file? -- I never have seen this option before. -- I always add the application to the Server and start the Server from the "Server" view (Eclipse Alt-3 + "Server")
