I am trying to return an image as shown here https://www.baeldung.com/spring-mvc-image-media-data
All methods that are shown there are working properly, except for the last one.
@ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value = "/image-resource", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public Resource getImageAsResource() {
return new ServletContextResource(servletContext, "/WEB-INF/images/image-example.jpg");
}
or, if we want more control over the response headers:
@RequestMapping(value = "/image-resource", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity<Resource> getImageAsResource() {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
Resource resource =
new ServletContextResource(servletContext, "/WEB-INF/images/image-example.jpg");
return new ResponseEntity<>(resource, headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}
When using this method, I get an error: The target resource does not have a current representation that would be acceptable to the user agent, according to the proactive negotiation header fields received in the request, and the server is unwilling to supply a default representation.
I tried many options and none of them helped. I studied these pages
HTTP Status 406 – Not Acceptable in spring MVC
"Could not find acceptable representation" using spring-boot-starter-web
Could not find acceptable representation
and many others and none of the answers on these pages helped solve the problem.
If I do:
@GetMapping(value = "/image4", produces = "image/jpeg")
then I get the error: No converter for [class org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextResource] with preset Content-Type 'null'
If I do:
@GetMapping(value = "/image4", consumes = "image/jpeg")
then I get the error: The origin server is refusing to service the request because the payload is in a format not supported by this method on the target resource.
This is my github project https://github.com/MyTestPerson/images
Please tell me what am I doing wrong?
