i have a case like in my form (front end), i can fill personal data (name, address, DOB) and then i can attach multiple image. 

In my spring boot controller :

```
@RequestMapping(value = "/addCustOrder", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {"multipart/form-data"})
    public String CustomerOrder(@ModelAttribute CustOrderRequest coReq, HttpServletRequest request) {
    System.out.println("debug ************** ");
    System.out.println("ReceiverName :: " + coReq.getReceiverName());
    System.out.println("attachmentFile :: " + coReq.getFileAttachment().length);
}

```

My model wrapper :

```
public class CustOrderRequest {
    private String receiverName;
    private String receiverPhone;
    private String itemDescription;
    private MultipartFile[] fileAttachment;
}
//setter & getter 

```

Front end (React) Code :

```
const payload = JSON.stringify({
    id: values.id,
    receiverName: values.receiverName,
    receiverPhone: values.receiverPhone,
    itemDescription: values.itemDescription,
    fileAttachment: values.fileAttachment
});

axios.post(urlApi, payload)
    .then(r => {
    // success request 
    });

```

With above example, i always encounter errors. like : java.io.IOException: Stream closed and zero attachment length / zero attachment size (have switch from array of MultipartFile or List of MultipartFile).
please throw some light for this case, as a lot of tutorial out there only for upload the attachment part, not including the form data that user has filled. Thanks before. 

tutorial reference : [SO](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49845355/spring-boot-controller-upload-multipart-and-json-to-dto) [MK](https://mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-file-upload-example-ajax-and-rest/)

Updated front end code :

```
let fd = new FormData();
fd.append("fileAttachment", values.fileAttachment);
fd.append("receiverName", values.receiverName);

axios.post(urlApi, fd)
    .then(r => {
    // success request 
    });

```

changed the front end code using formdata then got error in backend :

```
