Hi all,


I am posting the contents of a html-form to a servlet and read the
contents with getParameterValues(), but if the number of characters
posted exceeds a certain limit (somewhere around 1500), some parameters
are truncated.

Is there a maximum of characters that can be read from parameters from
post requests? If so, where is it defined / can it be configured?

I get all the data when I parse the InputStream from the request
manually, but I dont want to switch to that, because the design of the
existing project depends heavily on the getParameterValues() method and
that would be a lot of work to change.

When I set the enctype of the form to multipart/form-data then no
parameters at all will be parsed automatically (i guess this is the
expected behavior).

How can I ensure that all posted parameters can be read by
getParameterValues() ? Do I have to split up my forms and
constrain the number of characters typed into the textarea fields? If
yes, what is the limit?


many thanks in advance, Tilmann Singer



Configuration is 
jsdk2.0
blackdown jdk1.1.7v3
apache 1.3.9
ApacheJServ-1.1-2 (this is the name of the rpm. I dont know where to
find the actual JServ version ... I wonder if this is the latest
release)
redhat 6.1

I had the same Results trying with different Browsers (Netscape 4.7 on
Linux and Mac, IE 4.5 on Mac)
