commonsmultipartresolver ajax,java - Spring MVC - Multipart file upload with Ajax (Could not parse m...

I'm trying to upload a multipart file using Ajax, Spring MVC 3.2.0, Tomcat 8.0.9, but can't get it work. I read a lot of blogs and similar posting here on stackoverflow (Spring upload file problems, MultipartConfig with Servlet 3.0 on Spring MVC, …) which seem to have similar causes but couldn't figure out how to solve it. The weird thing is that the upload works when the file is smaller than 1MB, but when ever the recorded video exceeds that size, the following error is raised:

org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase$IOFileUploadException: Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. null

org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver.parseRequest(CommonsMultipartResolver.java:163)

org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver.resolveMultipart(CommonsMultipartResolver.java:139)

org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter.doFilterInternal(MultipartFilter.java:110)

In the following you can see all the configurations I made:

The AJAX POST-Request:

var videoBlob = e.data;

var pathArray = window.location.pathname.split( '/' );

var userID;

for (i = 0; i < pathArray.length; i++) {

if (pathArray[i].toString() == "edit"){

userID = pathArray[i+1];

}

}

var fd = new FormData();

fd.append('fname', 'video');

fd.append('data', videoBlob);

$.ajax({

url: '/user/edit/uploadVideo/' + userID,

data: fd,

processData: false,

contentType: false,

type: 'POST',

success: function(data)

{

$('#result').html(data + "uploaded by FormData!");

}

});

The root-context.xml where I defined the MultipartResolver

The Java-Controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/edit/uploadVideo/{id}", method = RequestMethod.POST)

public @ResponseBody String uploadVideo(@PathVariable long id, MultipartHttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {

//.... file handling

}

How can I solve this problem?

EDIT:

I tried the suggested approach and used the Servlet implementation to manage my video-file upload. The following adjustments have been made, but it's still resulting in a similar error:

Adjusted @Controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/edit/uploadVideo/{id}", method = RequestMethod.POST)

public String uploadVideo(@PathVariable long id, @RequestParam("data") Part file) {

//...

}

The root-controller has been deleted and I added the multipartResolver to the servlet-context.xml

The tag was in the web.xml has been extended by the following Multipart-Configuration:

However, I'm still getting an exception and can't upload a blob file larger than 1MB:

Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is java.io.IOException: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$IOFileUploadException: Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. null

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:725)

I implemented a similar file upload where a single file was simply picked and it totally worked to send large files while using the same configuration. So I believe it has rather something to do with the Ajax POST or the attached blob file?!
