We needed an image upload functionality for our E-Commerce App, as we need to upload images for products and categories. We will build this function as a standalone service, which can be reused later. You can use this source code for uploading and displaying images for any of your products.

First, we will build the backend in Java and Spring, then integrate it with a Web client and Android Client in other tutorials

Backend Demo

Backend Design

We will have 3 APIs
1. Upload image
2. Get an image by its name
3. Get all images

Let’s have a look at FileUploadController Java class which describe above 3 APIs
