Upload file using ng-file-upload and Spring Boot

Question

I am trying to make a video upload using angular and spring boot. I am using ng-file-upload in angular and in the controller I am using the following method to upload the file

   Upload.upload({
       url: 'api/uploadFile',
       data: {file: file, 'username': $scope.username}
   })

On the server I have declared my resource like this

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class FileUploadResource {

    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
    @PostMapping("/uploadFile")
    public void uploadFile(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file,  @RequestParam("username") String name)

When I try uploading the file I keep receiving a 500 error and I can't figure out how to solve it. If you could help me or if you could suggest another method that would be great

Thanks.

Is the uploadFile controller method being called? I'm guessing an exception is being thrown from the uploadFile method, in which case you should have a stack trace showing in your server log that will direct you to where the problem lies.

No, the method isn't called. I don't have a stack trace, I receive "error.internalServerError".

Set headers in your upload to:

headers: { 'Content-Type': undefined }

It's better to send your data like this:

var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("file", file);
formData.append("username", username);

And put formData as upload's data to send.
