Answer 1

Working example for play 2.3 using above approach, also added contentType while uploading the file.

public Promise upload(Http.MultipartFormData.FilePart policyFilePart, String contentType) {
    ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    List parts = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
        parts.add(new FilePart("file", policyFilePart.getFile(), contentType, null));
        parts.add(new StringPart("param1", "value1"));
        parts.add(new StringPart("param2", "value2"));
        Part[] partsA = parts.toArray(new Part[parts.size()]);

        // Add it to the multipart request entity
        MultipartRequestEntity requestEntity = new MultipartRequestEntity(partsA, new FluentCaseInsensitiveStringsMap());
        requestEntity.writeRequest(bos);
        InputStream reqIS = new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
        return WS.url(baseUrl + "upload")
                .setContentType(requestEntity.getContentType())
                .post(reqIS).map(new Function() {
                    @Override
                    public WSResponse apply(WSResponse wsResponse) throws Throwable {
                            return wsResponse;
                    }
                });
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}
