Angular 5: Sending POST request with string parameters and FormData parameter together, to a Spring REST Controller

Question

I want to send a POST request from my service to a SpringBoot @RestController. I have a bunch of string parameters that I am sending, but I also have a FormData parameter which is an image (picture argument). If I do it like this:

  public createEvent(name, description, fromDate, toDate, userId, picture){
      this.http.post(this.baseUrl + 'create',
          {
              name: name,
              description: description,
              fromYear: fromDate['year'],
              fromMonth: fromDate['month'],
              fromDay: fromDate['day'],
              toYear: toDate['year'],
              toMonth: toDate['month'],
              toDay: toDate['day'],
              userId: userId,
              picture: picture
          }).subscribe();
  }

And my Controller method looks like this:

@PostMapping(value = "/create")
    public void createEvent(@RequestBody Map map){}

The map looks like this:

and I can't get the file.
I can send the FormData as a single parameter in a post request and receive it as a Multipart file in my controller without any problems, but is it possible to send it in the same request with the other parameters?

Apparently, you can append all of the parameters in the FormData object, and access them through @RequestParam in the controller.
