Hello, 

I am develloping a systemtray application that sends parameters of a record
to a servlet, however this is working perfectly with files smaller than 1mb
but if i try to send larger files it crashes. Im using Swing as client. (the
problem is at the Attachment parameter) I've been searching a few days for
this but i couldn't find an answer, any help would be highly appreciated!

Code client:
   ActionListener sendTask = new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
            String request = "http://localhost:8080/rest/addTask";;

            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            PostMethod method = new PostMethod(request);

            //conversion blob
            File file = new File(txtUpload.getText());
            try {
                byte[] blob = getBytesFromFile(file);
                String blobje = new String(blob,"ISO-8859-1");

                method.addParameter("description",
txtOmschrijving.getText());
                method.addParameter("attachment", blobje);
                method.addParameter("contentType", new
MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(file));
                method.addParameter("fileName",file.getName());
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();  //To change body of catch statement
use File | Settings | File Templates.
            }


            // Send POST request
            try {
                int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
                System.out.println(statusCode);

                InputStream rstream = null;

                rstream = method.getResponseBodyAsStream();

                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(rstream));

                String line;

                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    System.out.println(line);
                }



                br.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            txtOmschrijving.setText("");
            txtUpload.setText("");

        }
    };


    public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);

    // Get the size of the file
    long length = file.length();

    // You cannot create an array using a long type.
    // It needs to be an int type.
    // Before converting to an int type, check
    // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
        // File is too large
    }

    // Create the byte array to hold the data
    byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];

    // Read in the bytes
    int offset = 0;
    int numRead = 0;
    while (offset < bytes.length
           && (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
        offset += numRead;
    }

    // Ensure all the bytes have been read in
    if (offset < bytes.length) {
        throw new IOException("Could not completely read file
"+file.getName());
    }

    // Close the input stream and return bytes
    is.close();
    return bytes;
}




Code on servlet:
public class AddTaskService extends HttpServlet {
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        String description = request.getParameter("description");
        String attachment = request.getParameter("attachment");
        String fileName = request.getParameter("fileName");
        String contentType = request.getParameter("contentType");

        //parsing String to Blob
        byte[] blobbinarie = attachment.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
        InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(blobbinarie);


        Blob blobje = Hibernate.createBlob(stream);

        //getting TaskController
        ServletContext context = getServletContext();
        WebApplicationContext applicationContext =
WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(context);
        TaskController taskController = (TaskController)
applicationContext.getBean("taskController");
        Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        Task task = new Task(description,blobje,today,contentType,fileName);

        //try to add new Task into Database
        taskController.createTask(task);

    }
}


Thanks in advance,
Kevin
