I'm developing an webapplication that handles big files 20-40 Mb per file. Up until now the upload of the files has been done outside the scope of the application and the application scope has been "limited" to handling indexing document information and locating the documents for user download. Now I need the admins to upload the documents themselves. But I really would like it to be a integrated part of the webapplication. Not using ftp and then handling things in the application as usual. But is it possible using tomcat/commons-fileupload to handle files this size? Will I run into timeouts and size restrictions? I was thinking that an applet might be better, but it is sure simpler to use std. html upload if no restrictions apply?
