Uploading and downloading files are very common tasks for which developers need to write code in their applications.

In this article, You'll learn how to upload and download files in a RESTful spring boot web service.

We'll first build the REST APIs for uploading and downloading files, and then test those APIs using Postman. We'll also write front-end code in javascript to upload files.

Following is the final version of our application -

Spring Boot File Upload and Download AJAX Rest API Web Service All right! Let's get started.

Creating the Application

Let's generate our application using Spring Boot CLI. Fire up your terminal, and type the following command to generate the app -

            $ spring init --name=file-demo --dependencies=web file-demo Using              service              at https://start.spring.io Project extracted to              '/Users/rajeevkumarsingh/spring-boot/file-demo'                      

You may also generate the application through Spring Initializr web tool by following the instructions below -

  1. Open http://start.spring.io
  2. Enter file-demo in the "Artifact" field.
  3. Enter com.example.filedemo in the "Package" field.
  4. Add Web in the "Dependencies" section.
  5. Click Generate to generate and download the project.

That's it! You may now unzip the downloaded application archive and import it into your favorite IDE.

Configuring Server and File Storage Properties

First thing First! Let's configure our Spring Boot application to enable Multipart file uploads, and define the maximum file size that can be uploaded. We'll also configure the directory into which all the uploaded files will be stored.

Open src/main/resources/application.properties file, and add the following properties to it -

                          ## MULTIPART (MultipartProperties)              # Enable multipart uploads              spring.servlet.multipart.enabled              =              true              # Threshold after which files are written to disk.              spring.servlet.multipart.file-size-threshold              =              2KB              # Max file size.              spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size              =              200MB              # Max Request Size              spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size              =              215MB              ## File Storage Properties              # All files uploaded through the REST API will be stored in this directory              file.upload-dir              =              /Users/callicoder/uploads                      

Note: Please change the file.upload-dir property to the path where you want the uploaded files to be stored.

Automatically binding properties to a POJO class

Spring Boot has an awesome feature called @ConfigurationProperties using which you can automatically bind the properties defined in the application.properties file to a POJO class.

Let's define a POJO class called FileStorageProperties inside com.example.filedemo.property package to bind all the file storage properties -

                          package              com.example.filedemo.property              ;              import              org.springframework.boot.context.properties.                            ConfigurationProperties              ;              @ConfigurationProperties              (prefix              =              "file"              )              public              class              FileStorageProperties              {              private              String              uploadDir;              public              String              getUploadDir              (              )              {              return              uploadDir;              }              public              void              setUploadDir              (              String              uploadDir)              {              this              .uploadDir              =              uploadDir;              }              }                      

The @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "file") annotation does its job on application startup and binds all the properties with prefix file to the corresponding fields of the POJO class.

If you define additional file properties in future, you may simply add a corresponding field in the above class, and spring boot will automatically bind the field with the property value.

Enable Configuration Properties

Now, To enable the ConfigurationProperties feature, you need to add @EnableConfigurationProperties annotation to any configuration class.

Open the main class src/main/java/com/example/filedemo/FileDemoApplication.java, and add the @EnableConfigurationProperties annotation to it like so -

                          package              com.example.filedemo              ;              import              com.example.filedemo.property.                            FileStorageProperties              ;              import              org.springframework.boot.                            SpringApplication              ;              import              org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.                            SpringBootApplication              ;              import              org.springframework.boot.context.properties.                            EnableConfigurationProperties              ;              @SpringBootApplication              @EnableConfigurationProperties              (              {              FileStorageProperties              .              class              }              )              public              class              FileDemoApplication              {              public              static              void              main              (              String              [              ]              args)              {              SpringApplication              .              run              (              FileDemoApplication              .              class              ,              args)              ;              }              }                      

Writing APIs for File Upload and Download

Let's now write the REST APIs for uploading and downloading files. Create a new controller class called FileController inside com.example.filedemo.controller package.

Here is the complete code for FileController -

                          package              com.example.filedemo.controller              ;              import              com.example.filedemo.payload.                            UploadFileResponse              ;              import              com.example.filedemo.service.                            FileStorageService              ;              import              org.slf4j.                            Logger              ;              import              org.slf4j.                            LoggerFactory              ;              import              org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.                            Autowired              ;              import              org.springframework.core.io.

HttpHeaders              ;              import              org.springframework.http.                            MediaType              ;              import              org.springframework.http.                            ResponseEntity              ;              import              org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.                            *              ;              import              org.springframework.web.multipart.                            MultipartFile              ;              import              org.springframework.web.servlet.support.                            ServletUriComponentsBuilder              ;              import              javax.servlet.http.

             }              catch              (              IOException              ex)              {              logger.              info              (              "Could not determine file type."              )              ;

             }              return              ResponseEntity              .              ok              (              )              .              contentType              (              MediaType              .              parseMediaType              (contentType)              )              .              header              (              HttpHeaders              .CONTENT_DISPOSITION,              "attachment; filename=\""              +              resource.              getFilename              (              )              +              "\""              )              .              body              (resource)              ;              }              }                      

The FileController class uses FileStorageService for storing files in the file system and retrieving them. It returns a payload of type UploadFileResponse after the upload is completed. Let's define these classes one by one.

UploadFileResponse

As the name suggests, this class is used to return the response from the /uploadFile and /uploadMultipleFiles APIs.

Create UploadFileResponse class inside com.example.filedemo.payload package with the following contents -

                          package              com.example.filedemo.payload              ;              public              class              UploadFileResponse              {              private              String              fileName;              private              String              fileDownloadUri;              private              String              fileType;              private              long              size;              public              UploadFileResponse              (              String              fileName,              String              fileDownloadUri,              String              fileType,              long              size)              {              this              .fileName              =              fileName;              this              .fileDownloadUri              =              fileDownloadUri;              this              .fileType              =              fileType;              this              .size              =              size;              }              // Getters and Setters (Omitted for brevity)              }                      

Service for Storing Files in the FileSystem and retrieving them

Let's now write the service for storing files in the file system and retrieving them. Create a new class called FileStorageService.java inside com.example.filedemo.service package with the following contents -

                          package              com.example.filedemo.service              ;              import              com.example.filedemo.exception.

Exception Classes

The FileStorageService class throws some exceptions in case of unexpected situations. Following are the definitions of those exception classes (All the exception classes go inside the package com.example.filedemo.exception).

1. FileStorageException

It's thrown when an unexpected situation occurs while storing a file in the file system -

                          package              com.example.filedemo.exception              ;              public              class              FileStorageException              extends              RuntimeException              {              public              FileStorageException              (              String              message)              {              super              (message)              ;              }              public              FileStorageException              (              String              message,              Throwable              cause)              {              super              (message,              cause)              ;              }              }                      

2. MyFileNotFoundException

It's thrown when a file that the user is trying to download is not found.

                          package              com.example.filedemo.exception              ;              import              org.springframework.http.                            HttpStatus              ;              import              org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.                            ResponseStatus              ;              @ResponseStatus              (              HttpStatus              .NOT_FOUND)              public              class              MyFileNotFoundException              extends              RuntimeException              {              public              MyFileNotFoundException              (              String              message)              {              super              (message)              ;              }              public              MyFileNotFoundException              (              String              message,              Throwable              cause)              {              super              (message,              cause)              ;              }              }                      

Note that, we've annotated the above exception class with @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND). This ensures that Spring boot responds with a 404 Not Found status when this exception is thrown.

Running the Application and Testing the APIs via Postman

We're done developing our backend APIs. Let's run the application and test the APIs via Postman. Type the following command from the root directory of the project to run the application -

Once started, the application can be accessed at http://localhost:8080.

1. Upload File

Spring Boot File Upload Rest API Example

2. Upload Multiple Files

Spring Boot Upload Multiple Files Rest API Example

3. Download File

Spring Boot Download File Rest API Example

Developing the Front End

Our backend APIs are working fine. Let's now write the front end code to let users upload and download files from our web app.

All the front end files will go inside src/main/resources/static folder. Following is the directory structure of our front-end code -

            static   └── css        └── main.css   └── js        └── main.js   └── index.html

If you use JQuery

If you prefer using jQuery instead of vanilla javascript, then you can upload files using jQuery.ajax() method like so -

                          $              (              '#singleUploadForm'              )              .              submit              (              function              (              event              )              {              var              formElement              =              this              ;              // You can directly create form data from the form element              // (Or you could get the files from input element and append them to FormData as we did in vanilla javascript)              var              formData              =              new              FormData              (formElement)              ;              $.              ajax              (              {              type:              "POST"              ,              enctype:              'multipart/form-data'              ,              url:              "/uploadFile"              ,              data:              formData,              processData:              false              ,              contentType:              false              ,              success              :              function              (              response              )              {              console.              log              (response)              ;              // process response              }              ,              error              :              function              (              error              )              {              console.              log              (error)              ;              // process error              }              }              )              ;              event.              preventDefault              (              )              ;              }              )              ;                      

Conclusion

All right folks! In this article, we learned how to upload single as well as multiple files via REST APIs written in Spring Boot. We also learned how to download files in Spring Boot. Finally, we wrote code to upload files by calling the APIs through javascript.

I hope the post was helpful to you. You can download the entire code for the project that we built in this article from the github repository.

If you want to store files in MySQL database instead of the local file system, then check out the following article -
