Struts 1.x file upload when file size > 8MB

Question

I want to upload a file(zipped excel) in my application. The file size is almost 8MB. So it gives size error.

I have tried to upload a small file, it works fine. But for size> 1 MB, it does not work.

Is there any work around for uploading big (zipped) files???

I am using Struts 1.x framework.

Thanks in advance!

What is the exception? Could you please elaborate "it doesn't work"? — Shashi, Feb 08 '13 at 07:41

From http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html

maxPostSize

The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be handled by the container FORM URL parameter parsing. The limit can be disabled by setting this attribute to a value less than or equal to 0. If not specified, this attribute is set to 2097152 (2 megabytes).

Locate server.xml in {Tomcat installation folder}\ conf \

8*1024*1204 =8388608

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"  connectionTimeout="20000"         
redirectPort="8443" maxPostSize="8388608" />

Put the limit in maxPostSize..

Your fix works! However, one more query I have. What if we do not have the access to server cofig files. i.e. Server.xml Is there any other way to increase the post size.... – Rahul_Java Feb 18 '13 at 04:41
