Spring showcase with image from camera.

[reddeagle]

Hi There,
I am trying to modify the example "HttpPostFormDataActivity" to use an image taken from the camera rather than an image loaded from the <code>Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("res/drawable/spring09_logo.png");</code>

I have got it all hanging together except one critcal part:

For

formData.add("file", resource);

I had tried :

			ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
			photo.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 0 /*ignored for PNG*/, bos);
			byte[] bitmapdata = bos.toByteArray();
			resource = new ByteArrayResource(bitmapdata);
			formData.add("file", resource);

What must resource now be in order for it to be accepted by the Server:

 @RequestMapping(value = "postformdata", method=RequestMethod.POST, headers="Content-Type=multipart/form-data")
    public @ResponseBody String handleFormUpload(@RequestParam("description") String description, @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {

I was going to go down the route or creating a temp file with the image just taken and use the same code? Is the a correct approach.

Any help / guidance would be appreciated.
