I was uploading file using spring-rest
I am trying to send a request with content-type multipart/form-data or multipart/form-data
However, I keep getting an error: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found
I'm not sure whether this is a problem in rest or my request is messed up. I am using restclient and setting the content-type to multipart/form-data and sending the file from restclient
Error :
Warning: StandardWrapperValve[dispatcher]: Servlet.service() for servlet dispatcher threw exception
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found

You have specified boundary=032a1ab685934650abbe059cb45d6ff3 header attributes.
When you specify boundary in the requestmapping, you have to specify boundary in the header same when you post the request. Otherwise the framework cannot recognize the request.
Try removing boundary from mapping
@RequestMapping(value = "/file", headers = ("content-type=multipart/form-data"), method = RequestMethod.POST)
