Getting MissingServletRequestParameterException during File upload

Question

My Controller looks like this

@RequestMapping (value = { "/link_multiple" } , method = 
RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView linkMultipleVideo(
    @RequestParam ("csv_file") final MultipartFile file) {

Here is my freemarker template

<input type="file" class="csv_file" name="csv_file"  id="csv_file" accept=".csv"/>
    <a class="file-link" href="javascript:void(0);">Choose File</a>
    <span class='input-file-select'></span>
  </div>

I have also added Multipart Resolver configuration to

<bean id="multipartResolver"  class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
    <property name="maxUploadSize" value="2097152"/>
 </bean>

Also added below filter in web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Below is the Exception that i am getting.

org.springframework.web.bind.MissingServletRequestParameterException: Required MultipartFile parameter 'csv_file' is not present

Answer 1

I got it to work by Removing filter from web.xml.

<filter>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
