I'm trying to create a jersey client to hit a server with multipart request.
I have the file to upload as a java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
type stream.
I searched for the error and came across this question here and this answer here
and added
register(MultiPartFeature.class)
while creating a Client
, but to no effect.
I probably just need a nudge in the right direction. Thanks!
I'm not using Maven or anything.
Relevant part from my java
file is:
FormDataMultiPart multiPart = new FormDataMultiPart();
FormDataContentDisposition.FormDataContentDispositionBuilder dispositionBuilder = FormDataContentDisposition
.name("file");
dispositionBuilder.fileName("file.zip");
FormDataContentDisposition formDataContentDisposition = dispositionBuilder.build();
/*
* byteArrayOutputStream is of type java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
* and contains the file I wish to upload.
*/
multiPart.bodyPart(
new FormDataBodyPart("file", byteArrayOutputStream, MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM_TYPE)
.contentDisposition(formDataContentDisposition));
Entity < FormDataMultiPart > entity = Entity.entity(multiPart, MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_TYPE);
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(new ClientConfig().register(MultiPartFeature.class));
WebTarget webTarget = client.target("http://localhost:3000/path/to/service");
// send request
Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder = webTarget.request();
Response response = invocationBuilder.post(entity);
return response;
Relevant part from web.xml
is:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.example</param-value>

</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
I get this following error while trying to run it inside Eclipse on a Apache Tomcat 8.5 runtime server.

There's no MessageBodyWriter
that handles OutputStream
. Use an InputStream
instead
