[Resteasy-users] Client for multipart/form-data?

[ujay68 <uj...@gm...>]

Hi,

how do I parameterize an interface method for a POST call that
consumes a multipart/form-data, for use with use
org.jboss.resteasy.client.ProxyFactory?

The server implements something like this:

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("wherever")
public Response doFooImpl(MultipartFormDataInput object) {
List<InputPart> items = object.getFormDataMap().get("ITEM"); /* ... */
 }

In the client, I tried this:

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("wherever")
Object doFoo(Map<String, DataSource> parts);

But when I run this, the client throws a

java.lang.RuntimeException: could not find writer for content-type
multipart/form-data type: java.util.Map

Would it be better to use a javax.mail.Multipart as a client-side
parameter? Or org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.multipart.MultipartFormDataInputImpl
(if that is an "official" API class)?

Thanks, Jay
