I am attempting to test a rest service I created. The service is a post.

You need to simulate a file upload, which requires a particular content type header, body parameters, etc. Something like this should do the trick:

// Fill out the "form"...
MultiValueMap<String, Object> parameters = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object>();
parameters.add("file", new FileSystemResource("file.jpg")); // load file into parameter
parameters.add("blah", blah); // some other form field

// Set the headers...
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data"); // we are sending a form
headers.set("Accept", "text/plain"); // looks like you want a string back

// Fire!
String result = restTemplate.exchange(
    "http://localhost:8080/sendScreeenAsPostCard",
    HttpMethod.POST,
    new HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>>(parameters, headers),
    String.class
).getBody();
