how to make spring mvc convert the json array to arraylist(form submit with upload file)?












1















I was using below code to submit a form with fileupload to the backend spring mvc controller.



function submit() {
var formData = new FormData();
var fileField = document.querySelector("input[type='file']");


formData.append('mail', document.getElementsByName('mail')[0].value);
formData.append('applicationName', 'myapp');

// please remove the attachment if no file attached
formData.append('attachment', fileField.files[0]);

const releaseNotes = [{
type: "java",
overview: "good"
},
{
type: "java2",
overview: "good2"
}]

formData.append('releaseNotes', releaseNotes)

fetch('springapi/addform', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
})
.then(response => response.json())
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error))
.then(response => console.log('Success:', JSON.stringify(response)));

}


The controller looks like below.



@RequestMapping(value = "add", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public @ResponseBody UserInfo save( UserInfo userInfo, HttpServletRequest request) throws RestException {

myService.save(userInfo);

return userInfo;
}


The object looks like below.



public class UserInfo {
private Long ID;
private String mail;
private String applicationName;
private List<ReleaseNote> releaseNotes;

}


When I ran this demo, it will report below exception.



default message [Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'java.util.List' for property 'releaseNotes'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [com.xxx.rest.jpa.entity.ReleaseNote] for property 'releaseNotes[0]': no matching editors or conversion strategy found] (.java:24) in http-bio-8080-exec-1


ps: If there is no need to use fileupload, I can solve this issue by using RestController and post the json to backend by below.



fetch(url,
{method: 'post',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'},
body: json })


But since there is fileupload, so I have to use FormData instead of passing json to backend. How to solve this issue? Thanks.
