How to Pass Extra Parameter with jQuery Dropzone to Your Java Controller

When developing a web application, you may find yourself needing to upload files while also sending additional parameters to your backend service. If you're using jQuery Dropzone for file uploads, you might run into issues passing these extra parameters correctly. In this guide, we will explore how to pass an extra parameter, such as a value from a select element, to a Java controller method and ensure it's received without any issues.

The Problem

You have implemented a jQuery Dropzone function to upload PDF files and need to pass an extra parameter to your Java controller method for processing. However, you notice that the parameter is being received as null. Below are the relevant sections of code where this issue occurs:

In this setup, you are attempting to pass name as a parameter. However, the parameter is being received as null, and you are left wondering why.

The Solution

To effectively pass the extra parameter, you need to use the FormData object in Dropzone's configuration. Specifically, you should append the value of the select element to the formData in the sending event. Here’s how you can modify your existing jQuery Dropzone code:

Why This Works

Using the sending Event: By utilizing the sending event, you gain access to the xhr (XMLHttpRequest) and formData objects before the data is sent to the server. This allows you to manipulate the data being sent.

Appending Parameters: The key to sending the name parameter correctly is by appending it to the formData object. This means that when the file and data are sent to the server, the name parameter will be included properly.

Debugging: Using console.log(formData); allows you to inspect what is actually being sent to your server, which can help diagnose any issues.

Conclusion

In conclusion, passing extra parameters with jQuery Dropzone to your Java controller method is straightforward once you know how to handle the formData object. By appending parameters during the sending event, you can ensure that your Java backend receives the data as expected. This adjustment will prevent any null values and streamline the process of file uploads combined with additional data submissions.
