Upload Image to the DB

I'm trying to upload an image to the DB but when I try to see what is in the params, I find in fileupload is the image's name something like org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartFile@eeed792. For example params [fileupload:android-logo.jpg].

Here is the domain class:

class Photos {
Date dateCreated
byte [] photo
Date lastUpdated

static constraints = {

}
static mapping ={ photo(sqlType:"BLOB") }
}

the GSP :

 <label>Photos:</label>
            <input class="inputFiles" type="file" name="fileupload" multiple="multiple" accept="image/*" />

What may be causing this ?

Solution

  • File uploads don't get directly injected into params. You have to use request.getFile('paramname')
