org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: The current request is not a multipart request

Question

I am trying to send a multipart request to the server but i am getting the following exception HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.spring

Answer 1

It seems that your tag form is not well formated and everything that is after the

'action="<c:url value="/members/profileimageupload" />"' 

is being ignored. Try to write like this and see if it works:

action="<c:url value='/members/profileimageupload' />"

Answer 2

Check whether you have added CommonsMultipartResolver in Spring-Servlet.xml.

    <bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver"/>

Then, add the enctype to multipart/form-data in your form

<form id="fileupload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Finally in Controller, Request > MultipartHttpServletRequest

 @RequestMapping(value = "/profileimageupload", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView uploadProfileImage(MultipartHttpServletRequest request) {}

Dependencies

1. commons-fileupload.jar
2. commons-io.jar

Answer 3

Try again with "headers":

@RequestMapping(value = "/profileimageupload", headers = "content-type=multipart/*", method = RequestMethod.POST)

and ajax call follow: How can I upload files asynchronously?

I hope this helpful to you!
