Otherwise - you can code for it too:
request.getContentLength() == Size of posted content. -1 if the client did not provide a Content length.

Hi
I have an application where a client transmits data to a servlet by opening a URLConnection to the servlet and writing the data to the outputStream as a POST request which the servlet processes by reading the HttpServletRequest inputStream. What can I do to protect my servlet against a rogue client that opens the outputStream and trying to write multi-gigabytes of data and running the server out of memory or does Tomcat already have mechanisms in place to prevent this.
Regards
Roger
