Sending Multipart File as POST parameters with RestTemplate requests

by

A way to solve this without needing to use a FileSystemResource that requires a file on disk, is to use a ByteArrayResource, that way you can send a byte array in your post (this code works with Spring 3.2.3):

MultiValueMap<String, Object> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object>();
final String filename="somefile.txt";
map.add("name", filename);
map.add("filename", filename);
ByteArrayResource contentsAsResource = new ByteArrayResource(content.getBytes("UTF-8")){
            @Override
            public String getFilename(){
                return filename;
            }
        };
map.add("file", contentsAsResource);
String result = restTemplate.postForObject(urlForFacade, map, String.class);

I override the getFilename of the ByteArrayResource because if I don’t I get a null pointer exception (apparently it depends on whether the java activation .jar is on the classpath, if it is, it will use the file name to try to determine the content type)
