FileNotFoundException trying to download file from a Spring RepositoryRestController


I'm using Spring Boot, Spring Data REST, Spring HATEOAS, Hibernate. I'm trying to create a controller to download a file from the server.

My controller is a @RepositoryRestController, this is the code:

@Api(tags = "Media Entity")
@RepositoryRestController
@RequestMapping(path = "/api/v1")
@Transactional
public class MediaController {
    private Logger log = LogManager.getLogger();

    @PreAuthorize("isAuthenticated()")
    @RequestMapping(value = "/medias/{id}/download", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource> download(@PathVariable("id") Long id, HttpServletResponse response, Locale locale) throws Exception {
        Media media = mediaRepository.findOne(id);
        if (media != null) {
            File file = storageManager.loadFileFromDisk(media);
            InputStreamResource resource = new InputStreamResource(new FileInputStream(file));

            return ResponseEntity.ok().header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, "attachment;filename=" + media.getOriginalFileName())
                    .contentType(MediaType.parseMediaType(media.getMimeType())).contentLength(file.length()).body(resource);
        } else {
            throw new ResourceNotFoundException();
        }
    }

But for some reason I've this exception:

{
    "timestamp": "2017-11-24T13:41:37.914+0000",
    "status": 500,
    "error": "Internal Server Error",
    "exception": "java.io.FileNotFoundException",
    "message": "InputStream resource [resource loaded through InputStream] cannot be resolved to URL",
    "path": "/api/v1/medias/1/download"
}

and this is the complete stack trace:

I can solve the problem using HttpServletResponse but I want make this way works.

The file exists and it's readable of course.

Some advice would be appreciated.


Solution

  • You are using RepositoryRestController and it was meant to deal with application/json or application/hal+json. You should write a regular spring Controller and deal with file download and upload outside Spring-Data-Rest realm.

    Currently, only JSON representations are supported. Other representation types can be supported in the future by adding an appropriate converter and updating the controller methods with the appropriate content-type.

    https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#representations.mapping
