[FIXED] (Spring MVC) Upload multipartfile method POST returns 404 error

October 28, 2021 controller, http-status-code-404, multipart, post, spring-mvc

Issue

I have a Spring application with an update file form:

<form class="form-inline" role="form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"
                  action="<c:url value="upload" />">
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="control-label"> <spring:message code="file.to.upload"/> </label>
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <input type="file" name="file" id="file" class="btn btn-primary">
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <input
                            type="submit"
                            class="btn btn-primary"
                            value=<spring:message code="upload"/>>

                </div>
            </form>

But when I submit the form I get a 404 error which description says resource () not available. Note that it doesn't say "(/upload)", just an empty ().

My (not reached) controller is:

@Controller
@Scope(value = "session", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.INTERFACES)
public class WebController implements Serializable {
...

@RequestMapping(value="upload", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String handleFileUpload(
        @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file, ModelMap model) throws     CloneNotSupportedException {
    System.out.println("Handling file");
    ... //never reaches here
    return screen(model);
}

And I have this in my mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml:

Solution

The problem is because I'm using Spring Security with CSRF protection.

In this Spring doc there are solutions. Finally I solved it including CSRF token in action as follows:

<form action="./upload?${_csrf.parameterName}=${_csrf.token}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
