File upload won't work with angular-file-upload and Spring

Question

I am trying to make a simple file upload possible but Spring does not want to play with me.

This is the endpoint for file uploads - currently not doing a lot:

Here is how i didi it:

 @RequestMapping(value="/uploadFile", method=RequestMethod.POST)
            public @ResponseBody String handleFileUpload(
                    @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file){
                String name = "test11";
                if (!file.isEmpty()) {
                    try {
                        byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
                        BufferedOutputStream stream =
                                new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(name + "-uploaded")));
                        stream.write(bytes);
                        stream.close();
                        return "You successfully uploaded " + name + " into " + name + "-uploaded !";
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        return "You failed to upload " + name + " => " + e.getMessage();
                    }
                } else {
                    return "You failed to upload " + name + " because the file was empty.";
                }
            }

and dont forget to register the multipart resolver:

@Bean
public MultipartResolver multipartResolver() {
    org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver multipartResolver = new org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver();
    multipartResolver.setMaxUploadSize(10000000);
    return multipartResolver;
}

here is the html code ... take a look at the name/id of the input fields .. File1 to upload:

    Name1: <input type="text" name="name">


    File2 to upload: <input type="file" name="file">

    Name2: <input type="text" name="name">


    <input type="submit" value="Upload"> Press here to upload the file!
</form>
