I'm currently working on a file upload feature using Spring MVC and I've run into a bit of a roadblock. I need to ensure that each upload is associated with a specific session, which means I have to pass the session ID along with the file in the request. However, I'm not quite sure how to configure Postman to send the session ID effectively so that it is recognized by Spring's backend. Below is the method I am using for the file upload in my Spring MVC controller:
I'm hoping someone can guide me on how to correctly pass a session ID in Postman for this type of request. Any example with the correct configuration or additional code changes that I may need to incorporate would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
try {
byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();
// Creating the directory to store file
String rootPath = System.getProperty("catalina.home");
File dir = new File(rootPath + File.separator + "tmpFiles");
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
// Create the file on server
File serverFile = new File(dir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + name);
BufferedOutputStream stream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(serverFile));
stream.write(bytes);
stream.close();
System.out.println("Server File Location=" + serverFile.getAbsolutePath());
return new ResponseEntity < > (...); // Your success response
} catch (Exception e) {
return new ResponseEntity < > (...); // Your error response
}
} else {
return new ResponseEntity < > (...); // Your response for empty file
}
}
