We can bind the request body to a InputStream using @Body annotation.

 

Example

@Post(value = "/read", processes = MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
@ExecuteOn(TaskExecutors.IO)
String read(@Body InputStream inputStream) throws IOException { 
	return IOUtils.readText(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream)));
}

 

Find the below working applcation.

 

Step 1: Create new maven project ‘micronaut-read-input-stream’.

 

Step 2: Update pom.xml with maven dependencies.

 

pom.xml

Step 3: Define HelloController class.

 

HelloController.java

package com.sample.app.controller;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import io.micronaut.core.io.IOUtils;
import io.micronaut.http.MediaType;
import io.micronaut.http.annotation.Body;
import io.micronaut.http.annotation.Controller;
import io.micronaut.http.annotation.Post;
import io.micronaut.scheduling.TaskExecutors;
import io.micronaut.scheduling.annotation.ExecuteOn;

@Controller("/hello")
public class HelloController {

	@Post(value = "/read", processes = MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
	@ExecuteOn(TaskExecutors.IO)
	String read(@Body InputStream inputStream) throws IOException { 
		return IOUtils.readText(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream)));
	}
}

Step 4: Define main application class.

 

App.java

package com.sample.app;

import io.micronaut.runtime.Micronaut;

public class App {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Micronaut.run(App.class);

		// Use this if you want the beans to be initialized eagerly
		/*
		 * Micronaut.build(args) .eagerInitSingletons(true) .mainClass(App.class)
		 * .start();
		 */
	}
}

Total project structure looks like below.

 

Build the project using mvn package command.

Navigate to the folder where pom.xml is located and execute the command ‘mvn package’.

 

Upon command successful execution, you can see the jar file ‘micronaut-read-input-stream-0.1.jar’ in project target folder.

 

$ls ./target/
classes
generated-sources
generated-test-sources
maven-archiver
maven-status
micronaut-read-input-stream-0.1.jar
original-micronaut-read-input-stream-0.1.jar
test-classes

Execute below command to run the application.

java -jar ./target/micronaut-read-input-stream-0.1.jar

 

Execute below command to read demo.txt file content.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/hello/read' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--data-binary '@/Users/Shared/demo.txt'

$curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/hello/read' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--data-binary '@/Users/Shared/demo.txt'
hello
hi
how are
you
