In our project we use Sun/Oracle implementation of JAX-RS — Jersey ’cause it’s greate framework for build REST-services. But there are some troubles with uploading files feature. When you uploading file with latin chars in file name everything is fine, you read this file name on server and it’s exactly the same as on client computer. But when you trying to upload file with russian chars in file name you get “abracadabra” instead of them. For example:
| Original file name | Received file name |
|---|---|
| Test123.txt | Test123.txt |
| Тест123.txt | Тест123.txt |
I found that is not exactly Jersey problem but MIME pull which Jersey using to parse multi part requests. The problem is that the MIME pull reads headers in non UTF8 encoding. And the solution is to encode header’s data in UTF8.
I wrote Jersey’s custom multi part reader provider using built in multi part reader sources (MultiPartReader class) as base. The only thing I had to change — add a function getFixedHeaderValue which fixes headers’ encoding and used it in read headers loop:
for (Header h : mp.getAllHeaders()) { bodyPart.getHeaders().add(h.getName(), getFixedHeaderValue(h)); }
Now everything works perfectly)
P.S.: This solution works only when you using Jersey’s multipart module
Usage example:
@POST @Path("/upload-file/") @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA) public String uploadFile(@FormDataParam("Filedata") FormDataBodyPart newFileBodyPart) { ... String fileName = newFileBodyPart.getContentDisposition().getFileName(); ... }
Listing of my custom multi part reader provider:
