kendo upload - angular-js + jax-rs (java on backend) gives unsupported media type (415 error)

[Labhesh]

Hi, 

 

I've been trying kendo-upload with angular. 

 

I keep getting unsupported media type from the server (error: 415). I am wondering if the 

boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryARilQnC5oS7lnLVU

is making server have any issues or is there something else that's causing this?

Can you please provide guidance on how to have java service (jax-rs) based handle the request from UI? (in the same way you've given for asp.net)

Here's the angular configuration

<div class="demo-section k-content" ng-controller="UploadController"><input name="files"                          id="files"                          type="file"                          kendo-upload="uploader"                          k-select="onSelect"                          k-async="{ saveUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/path/to/upload', autoUpload: true }"/></div>

 

The java server side code for handling post

@POST@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)public void uploadFiles(@FormDataParam("files") List<InputStream> files) {System.out.println("Reached UploadFiles");}

 

This is the request made as seen on Chrome/Developer tools/Network

Content-Type:multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryARilQnC5oS7lnLVURequest Payload------WebKitFormBoundaryARilQnC5oS7lnLVUContent-Disposition: form-data; name="files"; filename="test_blah.txt"Content-Type: text/plain ------WebKitFormBoundaryARilQnC5oS7lnLVU--

Hello Labhesh,

The problem does not seem related to the Upload widget, but to the server configuration instead. You could assure this by removing the Upload widget and posting a separate FormData request. Since we are not tight specialists in jax rs, we cannot state what is the exact problem, but I found the following threads here and here that might help.
