Class MultipartBodyBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.http.client.MultipartBodyBuilder

public final class MultipartBodyBuilder
extends Object

Builder for the body of a multipart request, producing MultiValueMap<String, HttpEntity>, which can be provided to the WebClient through the body method. Examples:

 // Add form field
 MultipartBodyBuilder builder = new MultipartBodyBuilder();
 builder.part("form field", "form value").header("foo", "bar");

 // Add file part
 Resource image = new ClassPathResource("image.jpg");
 builder.part("image", image).header("foo", "bar");

 // Add content (e.g. JSON)
 Account account = ...
 builder.part("account", account).header("foo", "bar");

 // Add content from Publisher
 Mono<Account> accountMono = ...
 builder.asyncPart("account", accountMono).header("foo", "bar");

 // Build and use
 MultiValueMap<String, HttpEntity<?>> multipartBody = builder.build();

 Mono<Void> result = webClient.post()
     .uri("...")
     .body(multipartBody)
     .retrieve()
     .bodyToMono(Void.class)

Method Detail

part

public MultipartBodyBuilder.PartBuilder part(String name,
                                             Object part)

Add a part where the Object may be:

• String -- form field
• Resource -- file part
• Object -- content to be encoded (e.g. to JSON)
• HttpEntity -- part content and headers although generally it's easier to add headers through the returned builder
• Part -- a part from a server request

Parameters:

name - the name of the part to add

part - the part data

Returns:

builder that allows for further customization of part headers

part

public MultipartBodyBuilder.PartBuilder part(String name,
                                             Object part,
                                             @Nullable
                                             MediaType contentType)

Variant of part(String, Object) that also accepts a MediaType.

Parameters:

name - the name of the part to add

part - the part data

contentType - the media type to help with encoding the part

Returns:

builder that allows for further customization of part headers

asyncPart

public <T,P extends org.reactivestreams.Publisher<T>> MultipartBodyBuilder.PartBuilder asyncPart(String name,
                                                                                                 P publisher,

Add a part from Publisher content.

Parameters:

name - the name of the part to add

publisher - a Publisher of content for the part

elementClass - the type of elements contained in the publisher

Returns:

builder that allows for further customization of part headers

asyncPart

Variant of asyncPart(String, Publisher, Class) with a ParameterizedTypeReference for the element type information.

Parameters:

name - the name of the part to add
