How does RESTEasy client framework handles file upload attribute

[james_tang]

I am writing a java client file upload method using RESTEasy client framework to talk to Grails service via HTTP.

Here is some code lines from the java client:

MultipartFormDataOutput form = new MultipartFormDataOutput();

form.addFormData("ipAddress", “1.2.3.4”, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_WITH_CHARSET_US_ASCII_TYPE);

form.addFormData("file", new java.io.File("file.csv"), MediaType.valueOf("application/octet-stream; charset=ISO-8859-1"));

proxy.uploadCSV(form);

The “proxy” is created from an interface method like this:

        @POST

        @Path("/upload/csv")

        @Consumes("multipart/form-data")

        @Produces({"application/xml"})

        public UploadCSVResponse uploadCSV(MultipartFormDataOutput uploadStoreCSVForm);

When the statement "proxy.uploadCSV(form);" is executed, I saw the HTTP request message like this:

        Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"

        Content-Type: application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

        Content-Length: 1000

        *** the csv file contents ***

On the Grails service side, it requires the "filename" attribute in the "Content-Disposition" line.

It is expecting:

        Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file";  filename="file.csv"

I Googled it for the whole day. I was not able to find a solution in the RESTEasy client code.

I am also not allowed to change the Grails service code.

Are there any RESTEasy developers can tell me how to insert this {filename="file.csv"} into my RESTEasy client code above?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Were you able to find a resolution to this issue?  I'm working on a similar problem, and can't seem to figure out how to get Resteasy to match file upload syntax with how it's done from a standard web page form upload.
