Using the legacy REST Client with Multipart

This guide is about the multipart support of the REST Client compatible with RESTEasy Classic which used to be the default Jakarta REST (formerly known as JAX-RS) implementation until Quarkus 2.8.

It is now recommended to use Quarkus REST (formerly RESTEasy Reactive), which supports equally well traditional blocking workloads and reactive workloads. For more information about Quarkus REST, please see the REST Client guide and, for the server side, the introductory REST JSON guide or the more detailed Quarkus REST guide.

RESTEasy has rich support for the multipart/* and multipart/form-data mime types. The multipart mime format is used to pass lists of content bodies. Multiple content bodies are embedded in one message. multipart/form-data is often found in web application HTML Form documents and is generally used to upload files. The form-data format is the same as other multipart formats, except that each inlined piece of content has a name associated with it.

This guide explains how to use the RESTEasy REST Client with Multipart in order to interact with REST APIs requiring multipart/form-data content-type with very little effort.

先决条件

完成这个指南,你需要:

  • 大概15分钟

  • 编辑器

  • JDK 17+ installed with JAVA_HOME configured appropriately

  • Apache Maven 3.9.6

  • 如果你愿意的话,还可以选择使用Quarkus CLI

  • 如果你想构建原生可执行程序,可以选择安装Mandrel或者GraalVM,并正确配置(或者使用Docker在容器中进行构建)

解决方案

我们建议您按照下一节的说明逐步创建应用程序。然而,您可以直接转到已完成的示例。

克隆 Git 仓库: git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts.git ,或下载一个 存档

The solution is located in the resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart directory.

创建Maven项目

首先,我们需要一个新的项目。使用以下命令创建一个新的项目:

CLI
quarkus create app org.acme:resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart \
    --extension='resteasy-client,resteasy,resteasy-multipart' \
    --no-code
cd resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart

创建Grade项目,请添加 --gradle 或者 --gradle-kotlin-dsl 参数。

For more information about how to install and use the Quarkus CLI, see the Quarkus CLI guide.

Maven
mvn io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-maven-plugin:3.9.5:create \
    -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
    -DprojectArtifactId=resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart \
    -Dextensions='resteasy-client,resteasy,resteasy-multipart' \
    -DnoCode
cd resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart

创建Grade项目,请添加 -DbuildTool=gradle 或者 -DbuildTool=gradle-kotlin-dsl 参数。

For Windows users:

  • If using cmd, (don’t use backward slash \ and put everything on the same line)

  • If using Powershell, wrap -D parameters in double quotes e.g. "-DprojectArtifactId=resteasy-client-multipart-quickstart"

This command generates a Maven project with a REST endpoint and imports the resteasy-client and resteasy extensions. It also adds the resteasy-multipart extension to support multipart/form-data requests.

If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the resteasy-multipart extension to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:

CLI
quarkus extension add resteasy-multipart
Maven
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='resteasy-multipart'
Gradle
./gradlew addExtension --extensions='resteasy-multipart'

这会将以下内容添加到你的构建文件中:

pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-resteasy-multipart</artifactId>
</dependency>
build.gradle
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-resteasy-multipart")

Setting up the model

In this guide we will be demonstrating how to invoke a REST service accepting multipart/form-data input. We are assuming the payload is well-known before the request is sent, so we can model as a POJO.

If the payload is unknown, you can also use the RESTEasy custom API instead. If that’s the case, see the RESTEasy Multipart Providers link at the end of the guide.

Our first order of business is to set up the model we will be using to define the multipart/form-data payload, in the form of a MultipartBody POJO.

Create a src/main/java/org/acme/rest/client/multipart/MultipartBody.java file and set the following content:

package org.acme.rest.client.multipart;

import java.io.InputStream;

import jakarta.ws.rs.FormParam;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.providers.multipart.PartType;

public class MultipartBody {

    @FormParam("file")
    @PartType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
    public InputStream file;

    @FormParam("fileName")
    @PartType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String fileName;
}

The purpose of the annotations in the code above is the following:

  • @FormParam is a standard Jakarta REST annotation used to define a form parameter contained within a request entity body

  • @PartType is a RESTEasy specific annotation required when a client performs a multipart request and defines the content type for the part.

Create the interface

Using the RESTEasy REST Client is as simple as creating an interface using the proper Jakarta REST and MicroProfile annotations. In our case the interface should be created at src/main/java/org/acme/rest/client/multipart/MultipartService.java and have the following content:

package org.acme.rest.client.multipart;

import jakarta.ws.rs.Consumes;
import jakarta.ws.rs.POST;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import org.eclipse.microprofile.rest.client.inject.RegisterRestClient;
import org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.providers.multipart.MultipartForm;

@Path("/echo")
@RegisterRestClient
public interface MultipartService {

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    String sendMultipartData(@MultipartForm MultipartBody data);

}

The sendMultipartData method gives our code the ability to POST a multipart/form-data request to our Echo service (running in the same server for demo purposes). Because in this demo we have the exact knowledge of the multipart/form-data packets, we can map them to the model class created in the previous section using the @org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.providers.multipart.MultipartForm annotation.

The client will handle all the networking and marshalling leaving our code clean of such technical details.

The purpose of the annotations in the code above is the following:

  • @RegisterRestClient allows Quarkus to know that this interface is meant to be available for CDI injection as a REST Client

  • @Path and @POST are the standard Jakarta REST annotations used to define how to access the service

  • @MultipartForm defines the parameter as a value object for incoming/outgoing request/responses of the multipart/form-data mime type.

  • @Consumes defines the expected content-type consumed by this request (parameters)

  • @Produces defines the expected content-type produced by this request (return type)

While @Consumes and @Produces are optional as auto-negotiation is supported, it is heavily recommended to annotate your endpoints with them to define precisely the expected content-types.

It will allow to narrow down the number of Jakarta REST providers (which can be seen as converters) included in the native executable.

创建配置

In order to determine the base URL to which REST calls will be made, the REST Client uses configuration from application.properties. The name of the property needs to follow a certain convention which is best displayed in the following code:

# Your configuration properties
quarkus.rest-client."org.acme.rest.client.multipart.MultipartService".url=http://localhost:8080/

Having this configuration means that all requests performed using org.acme.rest.client.multipart.MultipartService will use http://localhost:8080/ as the base URL.

Note that org.acme.rest.client.multipart.MultipartService must match the fully qualified name of the MultipartService interface we created in the previous section.

Create the Jakarta REST resource

Create the src/main/java/org/acme/rest/client/multipart/MultipartClientResource.java file with the following content:

package org.acme.rest.client.multipart;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import jakarta.ws.rs.POST;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import org.eclipse.microprofile.rest.client.inject.RestClient;

@Path("/client")
public class MultipartClientResource {

    @Inject
    @RestClient
    MultipartService service;

    @POST
    @Path("/multipart")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String sendFile() throws Exception {
        MultipartBody body = new MultipartBody();
        body.fileName = "greeting.txt";
        body.file = new ByteArrayInputStream("HELLO WORLD".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        return service.sendMultipartData(body);
    }
}

Note that in addition to the standard CDI @Inject annotation, we also need to use the MicroProfile @RestClient annotation to inject MultipartService.

Creating the server

For demo purposes, let’s create a simple Echo endpoint that will act as the server part.

Create the directory src/main/java/org/acme/rest/client/multipart/server and include a EchoService.java file with the following content:

package org.acme.rest.client.multipart.server;

import jakarta.ws.rs.Consumes;
import jakarta.ws.rs.POST;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/echo")
public class EchoService {

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String echo(String requestBody) throws Exception {
        return requestBody;
    }
}

This will just return the request body and it’s useful for testing purposes.

Update the test

We also need to update the functional test to reflect the changes made to the endpoint. Edit the src/test/java/org/acme/rest/client/multipart/MultipartClientResourceTest.java file to:

package org.acme.rest.client.multipart;

import io.quarkus.test.junit.QuarkusTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.containsString;

@QuarkusTest
public class MultipartClientResourceTest {

    @Test
    public void testMultipartDataIsSent() {
        given()
                .when().post("/client/multipart")
                .then()
                .statusCode(200)
                .body( containsString("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\""),
                        containsString("HELLO WORLD"),
                        containsString("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"fileName\""),
                        containsString("greeting.txt"));
    }

}

The code above uses REST Assured to assert that the returned content from the echo service contains multipart elements

Because the test runs in a different port, we also need to include an application.properties in our src/test/resources with the following content:

# Your configuration properties
quarkus.rest-client."org.acme.rest.client.multipart.MultipartService".url=http://localhost:8081/

打包并运行该应用程序

使用以下命令运行该应用程序:

CLI
quarkus dev
Maven
./mvnw quarkus:dev
Gradle
./gradlew --console=plain quarkusDev

In a terminal, run curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/client/multipart

You should see an output similar to:

--89d288bd-960f-460c-b266-64c5b4d170fa
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileName"
Content-Type: text/plain

greeting.txt
--89d288bd-960f-460c-b266-64c5b4d170fa
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

HELLO WORLD
--89d288bd-960f-460c-b266-64c5b4d170fa--

像往常一样,该应用程序能够使用以下方式进行打包:

CLI
quarkus build
Maven
./mvnw install
Gradle
./gradlew build

And executed with java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar.

你也可以通过以下命令生成本地可执行文件:

CLI
quarkus build --native
Maven
./mvnw install -Dnative
Gradle
./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native
