The request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found in springboot

As I am trying this with spring boot and webservices with postman chrome add-ons.

In postman content-type="multipart/form-data" and I am getting the below exception.

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; 
nested exception is org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: Could not parse multipart servlet request; 
nested exception is java.io.IOException: 
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found

In Controller I specified the below code

@ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value = "/file", headers = "Content-Type= multipart/form-data", method = RequestMethod.POST)

public String upload(@RequestParam("name") String name,
        @RequestParam(value = "file", required = true) MultipartFile file)
//@RequestParam ()CommonsMultipartFile[] fileUpload
{
    // @RequestMapping(value="/newDocument", , method = RequestMethod.POST)
    if (!file.isEmpty()) {
        try {
            byte[] fileContent = file.getBytes();
            fileSystemHandler.create(123, fileContent, name);
            return "You successfully uploaded " + name + "!";
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return "You failed to upload " + name + " => " + e.getMessage();
        }
    } else {
        return "You failed to upload " + name + " because the file was empty.";
    }
}

Here I specify the file handler code

public String create(int jonId, byte[] fileContent, String name) {
    String status = "Created file...";
    try {
        String path = env.getProperty("file.uploadPath") + name;
        File newFile = new File(path);
        newFile.createNewFile();
        BufferedOutputStream stream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(newFile));
        stream.write(fileContent);
        stream.close();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        status = "Failed to create file...";
        Logger.getLogger(FileSystemHandler.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    return status;
}

The solution is

The problem is that you are setting the Content-Type by yourself, let it be blank. Google Chrome will do it for you. The multipart Content-Type needs to know the file boundary, and when you remove the Content-Type, Postman will do it automagically for you.
