Pankaj:
Are you using the alternate constructor for MultipartRequest?:
public MultipartRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
String saveDirectory,
int maxPostSize) throws IOException
The code for this above constructor has the following call:
parser = new MultipartParser(request, maxPostSize);
And in the code for constructor for MultipartParser is the check you are looking
for:
// Check the content length to prevent denial of service attacks
int length = req.getContentLength();
if (length > maxSize) {
throw new IOException("Posted content length of " + length +
" exceeds limit of " + maxSize);
}
So you see Jason has already taken care of this for you!! (:-) .. All you have to
do is catch the IOException and redirect to your error.html.. unless you want to
distinguish between the different kinds of exceptions (file too big and file cant
be parsed??))
