I've been known to be wrong before ;) unfortunately, more often than I would prefer :(
The next setting I would look at is in commons-fileupload, but with the stock file upload capabilities, you don't have a lot of options for changing configuration. I didn't look really close at how CFU behaves, but if you came back and said that it waits until the upload is complete before checking file size, I wouldn't be surprised. IIRC, the content size sent by the browser as part of the upload is not always reliable, leaving the upload handler to check size as it is receiving data. IMO, it might be hard to make it work right. Fortunately, there is a plugin in the sandbox that makes the upload capabilities more configurable, but unfortunately, you have to be running against a SNAPSHOT build of struts, since I had to update core to allow some of the configuration. If you wanna play around with it, since it's unreleased, be prepared to build struts and the plugin from scratch with maven and be patient if you find bugs.
