I want to create the message with the file attacher to it, but i have 415U nsupported Media Type. My service:

public class MessageService {

        checkIfTheInputUserIsAuthenticatedUser(user, foundUser);
        Message messageUntilSave = messageMap.messageRequestToMessage(messageRequest);
        messageUntilSave.setAuthor(foundUser);
        saveFile(messageUntilSave,file);
        Message messageSaved = messageRepo.save(messageUntilSave);

        return messageSaved;
    }


    public void saveFile(Message message, MultipartFile file) throws IOException {

        if (file != null && !file.getOriginalFilename().isBlank()) {
            File uploadDir = new File(uploadPath);
            if (!uploadDir.exists()) {
                uploadDir.mkdir();
            }
            String uuidFile = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
            String resultFilename = uuidFile + "." + file.getOriginalFilename();

            file.transferTo(new File(uploadPath + "/" + resultFilename));

            message.setFileName(resultFilename);
        }
    }
}

Controller(Rest api):

  @PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('user:write')")
    @ApiOperation(value = "Saving the message to the database with the data from request body")
    @PostMapping(value = "",consumes = MediaType.ALL_VALUE)
    public ResponseEntity<MessageSaveResponse> saveMessage(@AuthenticationPrincipal SecurityUser user,
                                                           @RequestBody MessageRequest messageRequest,
                                                           @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
        Message message = messageService.saveMessage(messageRequest, user,file);
        MessageSaveResponse messageResponse = messageMap.messageToMessageSaveResponse(message);
        return new ResponseEntity<>(messageResponse, HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }

Then i try to send request in postman with the file param an body of the message:

And the status is 415 Unsupported Media Type,it works great without the file but i need to attach it to the message

Thanks in advance

When i try to disable Content-type in header i have 415

But when enable content-type which is application/json i have error 500
