Project Structure:

 


Pom.xml:

POM stands for project object model. It's the fundamental unit of work in Maven. It is an XML file that contains information about the project and configuration details used to build the project. It downloads required libraries easily using POM XML tags.

Home Controller
package com.knowledgefactory.knowledgefactorydemo.controller;

import com.knowledgefactory.knowledgefactorydemo.
                              service.UploadDownloadService;

import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.List;

@RestController
public class HomeController {

private static final String path = "/home/user/Desktop/files/";
@Autowired
UploadDownloadService service;

@PostMapping("/uploadFile")
public ResponseEntity<List<String>>

}
}
The @RestController annotation was introduced in Spring 4.0 to simplify the engendering of RESTful web services. It's a convenience annotation that combines @Controller and @ResponseBody


Web Controller
package com.knowledgefactory.knowledgefactorydemo.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class WebController {

@GetMapping("/")
public String index() {
return "index";
}
}



Spring Boot Main Driver

The Spring Boot application's main class contains a public static void main() method that starts up the Spring ApplicationContext.
package com.knowledgefactory.knowledgefactorydemo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class KnowledgefactorydemoApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.
                   run(KnowledgefactorydemoApplication.class, args);
}
}


application.properties
spring.servlet.multipart.enabled=true
# Threshold after which files are written to disk.
spring.servlet.multipart.file-size-threshold=2KB
# Max file size.
spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=200MB
# Max Request Size
spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size=215MB
