Recovering from oversize upload exception ?
Hi Tal ? Sorry to bother you. I say your message posted (attached) about problems trying to gracefully reject large uploaded files. Did you find a solution ? (Only way we can provide graceful errors is to read the whole file which defeats the purpose of limiting the file size...) Hope you can help. Regards, Jim. --=_NextPart_000_00EE_01C0823D.09719AF0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit RE: Session ProblemHello, We are trying to use the Oreilly servlet package to service requests from a form that is used to upload files. The form contains buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and several 'file' fields. When request size is larger than the max size we allow, the constructor new MultipartParser(req, 10, true, true) throws an exception, reporting about the size violation. This is fine but when this happens, we cannot access the values of fields and buttons that were submitted. This significantly reduce our ability to to provide the user with a graceful error handling and all we can indicate in the error message that the total request size was above the limit and any setting of checkboxes and radio buttons is lost. Are we missing something ? Any idea how to improve the error handling and to recover field values ?

My question is about timeouts; where is the timeout value set? Thanks

I just re-wrote the O'Reilly stuff to throw an exception of my own creation (SizeTooBigException or something like that). It is very easy to do... I can sedn you what I did if you want. IMHO, this should be included in the real package. Joe Laffey LAFFEY Computer Imaging St. Louis, MO - - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it allows the servlet to continue and process all of the form fields and just have the uploaded file rejected, I think we'd all like to see the code. Since it's a multipart message, you'd have to process all parts and simple reject the upload of large files. Also, when I ran that class on JRun some time back, I noted that the exception was thrown only after all of the data was uploaded to my server. This seemed to defeat the purpose, which was to reject overly long transmissions. Does anybody know if this is just a requirement of servlets, in that the entire HttpServletRequest must be uploaded and fully stored in that object before the servlet is called? That sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure if that's the case, or whether the servlet has some control over reading the actual TCP socket so that it can terminate a large upload before everything is sent to the server.
