Upload de arquivo jQuery Ajax: O parâmetro MultipartFile obrigatório 'file' não está presente

FUNDO

Estou criando um aplicativo Web Spring MVC no Java8 e executando-o no tomcat8. Além dessas informações, a versão Spring é4.1.6.RELEASE eServlet 3.1 Estou fornecendo os antecedentes ambientais, porque alguns solucionadores de problemas mencionaram que a versão está relacionada a esse erro.

MEU CÓDIGO

Abaixo está oroot-context.xml

<bean id="multipartResolver" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">          
    <property name="maxUploadSize" value="20000000" />
</bean>

Abaixo está o meuFileController

@Controller
public class FileController { 
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(FileController.class);

    private static final String UploadFolder = "Files";

    @RequestMapping("/uploadFile")
    @ResponseBody
    public void uploadFile(@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {     
        String fileName = "";
        PrintWriter script = response.getWriter();

        if (!file.isEmpty()) {
            try {
                byte[] bytes = file.getBytes();

                fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(file.getOriginalFilename());

                String extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(fileName);



                String base = System.getProperty("catalina.home");

                File dir = new File(base + File.separator + UploadFolder);                

                if (!dir.exists()) {
                    dir.mkdirs();
                }

                Date date = new Date();
                String year = DateTimeUtility.getInstance().getYear(date);
                String month = DateTimeUtility.getInstance().getMonth(date);
                String uniqueFileName = DateTimeUtility.getInstance().getDateTime(date);

                File dateDir = new File(base + File.separator + UploadFolder + File.separator + year + File.separator + month);

                if (!dateDir.exists()) {
                    dateDir.mkdirs();
                }

                File uploadedFile = new File(dateDir.getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + uniqueFileName + WordCollections.UNDERBAR +  fileName);

                BufferedOutputStream stream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(uploadedFile));

                stream.write(bytes);
                stream.close();

                logger.info("Server File Location = " + uploadedFile.getAbsolutePath());                  
                script.write("Uploading file was successful");
            } catch (Exception e) {             
                logger.error("Server failed to upload this file : " + fileName);
                script.write("Uploading file was failed");
            }
        } else {
            logger.error("The requested file is empty");
            script.write("Uploading file was empty");
        }
    }

Abaixo está o meu formulário

<form id="upload" method="POST" action="/uploadFile.json" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        File to upload: <input type="file" name="file" onchange="MyScript.uploadFile(this);"><br />
        <input type="submit" value="Upload"> Press here to upload the file!
    </form>

COISA ESTRANHA

é que o upload de arquivos atravésform submit não tem problema. Ele funciona como um encanto !! Não tenho do que reclamarform submit !!

MAS ESTE AJAX ABAIXO NÃO FUNCIONA

            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/uploadFile",
                data: {name: "file", file: inputElement.files[0]},
                contentType: 'multipart/form-data;boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary0XBBar2mAFEE8zbv',
                processData: false,
                cache: false,
                /*beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
                    xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=gc0p4Jq0M2Yt08jU534c0p");
                    settings.data = {name: "file", file: inputElement.files[0]};                    
                },*/
                success: function (result) {                        
                    if ( result.reseponseInfo == "SUCCESS" ) {

                    } else {

                    }
                },
                error: function (result) {
                    console.log(result.responseText);
                }
            });

Quando estou tentando fazer upload de arquivo com a chamada ajax acima, o servidor me lança esse erro.

2015-04-07 18:37:30 DEBUG: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - DispatcherServlet with name 'appServlet' processing POST request for [/uploadFile]

2015-04-07 18:37:30 DEBUG: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Successfully completed request

E o navegador diz algo como ...

<body><h1>HTTP Status 400 - Required MultipartFile parameter 'file' is not present</h1><div class="line"></div><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>Required MultipartFile parameter 'file' is not present</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.</u></p><hr class="line"><h3>Apache Tomcat/8.0.20</h3></body></html>

O ponto éO parâmetro MultipartFile obrigatório 'file' não está presente e400 Solicitação incorreta.

Pesquisei essa palavra-chave no Google e pesquisei o máximo que pude, como sempre faço antes de postar uma pergunta emstackoverflow

Eu realmente não entendo porque apenasajax não funciona aqui !! quando enviar o upload funciona muito bem.
