    <p>I am using Spring 3.2.0.M2 and I am trying to upload a pdf file.</p> <p>JSP file :</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="POST" action="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data&gt; &lt;input type="file" name="file" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Controller :</p> <pre><code>@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST) public String handleUpload(@RequestParam MultipartFile file) { System.out.println(file.getContentType()); //prints "application/text-plain:formatted" } </code></pre> <p>I am using the Standard multipart resolver :</p> <pre><code>&lt;servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;servlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;servlet-class&gt;org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt; &lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt; &lt;multipart-config /&gt; &lt;/servlet&gt; </code></pre> <p>with :</p> <pre><code>&lt;bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver"&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; </code></pre> <p>I also tried with CommonsMultipartResolver from Apache but the problem is the same.</p> <p>What I am getting is "application/text-plain:formatted" instead of "application/pdf". I tested with several pdf file (from different sources). When I try to upload another file type (e.g. Word document), it works as expected (for a Word document, I get "application/msword").</p> <p>I intend to store the content type (and the file name) into a database for later retrieval and download of the file. Having an incorrect content type is then causing an exception when calling setContentType like this :</p> <pre><code>public void downloadResource(@RequestParam("resId") Long resourceId, HttpServletResponse response) { // get resource with its id. response.setContentType(resource.getContentType()); //throws org.apache.tomcat.util.http.parser.TokenMgrError } </code></pre> <p>The exception message is :</p> <blockquote> <p>Lexical error at line 1, column 23. Encountered: ":" (58), after : ""</p> </blockquote>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
