Postman throwing 400 Bad request for multipart/form-data image upload with jersey 2.0 - http

Question

REQUEST :
URL: http://localhost:8080/RESTfulExample/rest/file/upload
METHOD : POST
HEADER: Content-Type : multipart/form-data
RESPONSE :
HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request
The same code is working with html forms but in postman it's throwing 400 BAD REQUEST, I looked up on google for solution and found that boundary is missing, How to resolve it ? As I have to recieve files from multiple clients like mobile application and web clients via Jquery and rest client.
#Path("/file")
public class UploadFileService {
#POST
#Path("/upload")
#Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(#FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
#FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {
try {
String uploadedFileLocation = "/home/nash/" + fileDetail.getFileName();
// save it
writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;
System.out.println("File uploaded..........");
return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Exception " + e);
return null;
}
}
// save uploaded file to new location
private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream, String uploadedFileLocation) {
try {
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadedFileLocation));
int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadedFileLocation));
while ((read = uploadedInputStream.read(bytes)) != -1) {
out.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Please follow these steps:
Add jersey-multipart dependency.
In Your Application Class (or in web.xml) enable MultipartFeature.class.
DO NOT Add Content-Type header in your postman request.
For me the above steps worked. Do let me know if that helped you or not.
