Only accepts one instance of multipart file not an array of multipart file

[cpestano246]

How do I make it accept an array of multipart files? I also tried to test this to the multipart form of the postman. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same issue.

//xml integration config
<int-http:inbound-gateway
request-channel="requestChannel"
reply-channel="responseChannel"
path="/upload"
request-payload-type="org.springframework.util.LinkedMultiValueMap"
supported-methods="POST"
mapped-request-headers="*">
</int-http:inbound-gateway>

//<\bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">

//ServiceActivator
@serviceactivator(inputChannel="requestChannel", outputChannel="responseChannel")
public Message<?> uploadEcdd(@payload LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object> multipartRequest, @headers MessageHeaders messageHeaders) {

//ex. i uploaded two images, i'm only receiving the first image. what is the cause of this?
System.out.println(multipartRequest.get("files");

}

Would you mind to share how do you send those files in the form?

I will prepare then some simple Spring Boot application with Spring Integration HTTP Inbound Gateway and multipartResolver.

Thanks

Well, that works for me as expected:

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringIntegrationMultipartApplication {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(SpringIntegrationMultipartApplication.class, args);
	}

	@Bean
	MultipartResolver multipartResolver() {
		return new CommonsMultipartResolver();
	}

	@Bean
	IntegrationFlow multiFileUploadFlow() {
		return IntegrationFlows
				.from(Http.inboundChannelAdapter("/upload"))
				.handle(m -> System.out.println(m.getPayload()))
				.get();
	}

}

The result in the debug mode for that handle():

payload = {LinkedMultiValueMap@6586}  size = 1
 "files" -> {ArrayList@6592}  size = 2
  key = "files"
  value = {ArrayList@6592}  size = 2
   0 = {UploadedMultipartFile@6594} 
    file = null
    bytes = {byte[2381180]@6596} 
    size = 2381180
    contentType = "image/jpeg"
    formParameterName = "files"
    originalFilename = "IMG_0539.jpg"
   1 = {UploadedMultipartFile@6595} 
    file = null
    bytes = {byte[2055317]@6599} 
    size = 2055317
    contentType = "image/jpeg"
    formParameterName = "files"
    originalFilename = "IMG_1937.JPG"

Same issue in my end for some reason it only consumes single instance of the upload file. Actually this is a legacy code, I need to make it work through annotation and xml based like the code below for uniformity of the code since this is already an existing project.

@SpringBootApplication
@ImportResource("integration-config.xml")
public class Application {

public static void main(String[] args){

	SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
	
}

}

@MessageEndpoint
public class IntegrationService {

@ServiceActivator(inputChannel = "requestChannel")
public void upload(LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object> multipartRequest, @Headers MessageHeaders messageHeaders) {

	System.out.println(multipartRequest);

}

}

//integration-config.xml

<int:channel id="requestChannel" />

<int-http:inbound-gateway
		request-channel="requestChannel"
		path="/upload/"
		request-payload-type="org.springframework.util.LinkedMultiValueMap"
		supported-methods="POST"
		mapped-request-headers="*">
</int-http:inbound-gateway>

<bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver"/>

//based on this docs

2 files selected...

Didn't know it is possible.
Let me check!
But that's exactly difference between my tests and yours.
I don't believe you are able to add two files into a single <input> on the HTML form...

[artembilan]

Nope. Still works:

payload = {LinkedMultiValueMap@6585}  size = 1
 "files" -> {ArrayList@6591}  size = 2
  key = "files"
  value = {ArrayList@6591}  size = 2
   0 = {UploadedMultipartFile@6593} 
    file = null
    bytes = {byte[2381180]@6595} 
    size = 2381180
    contentType = "image/jpeg"
    formParameterName = "files"
    originalFilename = "IMG_0539.jpg"
   1 = {UploadedMultipartFile@6594} 
    file = null
    bytes = {byte[2418572]@6598} 
    size = 2418572
    contentType = "image/jpeg"
    formParameterName = "files"
    originalFilename = "IMG_0540.jpg"

Might be some versions problem...
Would be great if you can debug your app and place a break point into the CommonsMultipartResolver to see how it creates the stuff in its resolveMultipart().
Then you can place a break point in the HttpRequestHandlingEndpointSupport to see the content of the content of the message after prepareRequestMessage().

"Might be some versions problem..."
Can you give me a copy of your pom.xml? What are the versions of your dependencies?

[artembilan]

Nothing fancy. Just whatever Spring Boot gives us:
