if the request size is larger than the size specified in the filter the whole request can not be processed. Not even a single field will be available in the request. So I wonder how we can solve this problem though jsf. We can not restore the state of the request (at least if client side state is used). Even submitted values are not available so rendering a response with just an error message would be hard since every field entry will be discarded.
IMO this size limit is just there to prevent that someone (Mr. Evil ;)) uploads really large data. If that limit is exceeded the request will not be processed and the data will not be transferred. 2005/11/5, Mathias Brökelmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > We could drop something into the request and check for that value > later.
