public class FormHttpMessageConverter extends Object implements HttpMessageConverter<MultiValueMap<String,?>>
HttpMessageConverter that can handle form data, including multipart form data (i.e. file
uploads).
This converter can write the application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data media
types, and read the application/x-www-form-urlencoded) media type (but not multipart/form-data).
In other words, this converter can read and write 'normal' HTML forms (as MultiValueMap<String, String>), and it can write multipart form (as MultiValueMap<String, Object>. When writing multipart, this converter uses other HttpMessageConverters to write the respective MIME parts. By default, basic converters are registered (supporting
Strings and Resources, for instance); these can be overridden by setting the partConverters property.
For example, the following snippet shows how to submit an HTML form:
RestTemplate template =
new RestTemplate(); // FormHttpMessageConverter is configured by default MultiValueMap<String, String> form =
new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>(); form.add("field 1", "value 1"); form.add("field 2", "value 2");
form.add("field 2", "value 3"); template.postForLocation("http://example.com/myForm", form); The following snippet shows how to do a file upload:
MultiValueMap<String, Object> parts = new
LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Object>(); parts.add("field 1", "value 1"); parts.add("file", new
ClassPathResource("myFile.jpg")); template.postForLocation("http://example.com/myFileUpload", parts);
Some methods in this class were inspired by org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.MultipartRequestEntity.

The default implementation returns a random boundary. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Content-Disposition header.
The default implementation returns Resource.getFilename() if the part is a
Resource, and null in other cases. Can be overridden in subclasses.
