After looking into this further many belive the problem lies with the call
to res.getContentLength that is casuing a problem on the underlying server.
So the simple soloution to the problem seems to be to modify the
MultipartRequest class to allow it to work as follows.
if (file is to large){
read through file
error file to large
}
else{
write whilst reading through file
yippie all was fine
}
This works fine, but i was wondering if anyone can think of any drawbacks in
terms of server performance.

So you're saying that when some part of your servlet throws an
IOException and another part catches it, then you can't send any
output to the client? That sounds strange. I suggest you simplify
the code until you make it work again, then figure out what caused it
not to work. Start by just throwing and catching a plain old
IOException directly for example.
