Hi Jonathan,
Your HTML looks fine, so i am not sure why it is failing. Perhaps you
can enable server side logging and see if the HTTP request has a
Content-Type header with a boundary parameter:
https://jersey.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/1.0.3/jersey/com/sun/jersey/api/container/filter/LoggingFilter.html
Note that the use of multpart/form-data with @FormParam has been
deprecated due to semantic issues overloading for two different media
types that operate on characters and bytes. I need to log a warning
stating that it is deprecated.
I recommend using the jersey-multipart module and use @FormDataParam:
https://jersey.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/1.0.3/contribs/jersey-multipart/com/sun/jersey/multipart/FormDataParam.html
For example:
@POST
@Path("add")
@Consumes("multipart/form-data")
public Response add(@FormDataParam("file") final InputStream input)
{
Or if you want the form multipart data directly use:
https://jersey.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/1.0.3/contribs/jersey-multipart/com/sun/jersey/multipart/FormDataMultiPart.html
For example:
@POST
@Path("add")
@Consumes("multipart/form-data")
public Response add(final FormDataMultipart parts)
{
See the dependencies for the jersey-multipart module:
https://jersey.dev.java.net/source/browse/*checkout*/jersey/tags/jersey-1.0.3/jersey/dependencies.html
