Exception: The @FormParam is utilized when the content type of the request entity is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I'm getting the error when trying to post an uploaded file:

The @FormParam is utilized when the content type of the request entity is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I thought this might be needed, so I added this, with no effect :

bootstrap.addBundle(new MultiPartBundle());

My server call looks like this:

    @POST

    @Path("/upload/{uuid}")

    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)

    public Response uploadFile(

            @NotNull @PathParam("uuid") String uuid,

            @NotNull @FormParam("title") String title,

and the curl test call says its sending form-data:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------

I don't understand why it thinks application/x-www-form-urlencoded is involved?

This call works if instead I user QueryParam's rather than FormParams, but that just seems wrong, but I might just have to go that direction if I can't find a solution.

This is on 0.9.3, I'd love to see a working example of file upload w/FormParams. The examples I've found tend not to be current, and seem to match what I have, give or take version changes.

Turns out I needed to use @FormDataParam, not @FormParam as I was using. :(

I was getting this error:

HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The @FormParam is utilized when the content type of the request entity is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded

My method was:

@POST

@Path("/upload")

@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)

public Response uploadFile(

@FormDataParam("fajl") InputStream uploadedInputStream,

@FormDataParam("fajl") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail,

@FormParam("param2") String secondParam) { ...

and after replacing @FormParam with @FormDataParam , everything worked out! :) :) :)

Thank You for posting the solution! I hope my comment will help future Googlers find this more easily.
