HTTP Clent 4 HTTP PUT Multipart Client Code Sample

Few days back got stuck in usage of HTTP Client 4.0 Library usage for Multi Part Put Request.
Finally found a workaround and thought to share with everyone.

Below is the Sample code.


import java.io.File;

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.HttpVersion;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPut;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.FileBody;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.StringBody;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.params.CoreProtocolPNames;
import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;


public class PutRequestTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

HttpPost method = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/AdamService/service/sharedshelf/json/insertImage");

File file = new File("/Users/imranlakhani/a.JPG");
MultipartEntity mp = new MultipartEntity();
mp.addPart("projectId", new StringBody("1234", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
mp.addPart("Name", new StringBody("image.jpg", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
mp.addPart("username", new StringBody("imran", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
mp.addPart("instituteId", new StringBody("2", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
mp.addPart("password", new StringBody("", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(file);
mp.addPart("File", fileBody);
method.setEntity(mp);

System.out.println("executing request " + method.getRequestLine());
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(method);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
if (resEntity != null) {
System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
}
if (resEntity != null) {
resEntity.consumeContent();
}

httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}
