Form with enctype: Java Heap Space-OutOfMemory error ???

[lisaanm]

Hi.,

Environment: Seam 1.1.6, ajax4jsf1.1.0rc1, MyFaces 1.1.4, Tomahawk 1.1.3

Problem: When I use a form with enctype (for fileupload case) which has some components ajax-ified then I'm getting a strange Java heap space -outOfMemoryError (for the first time I'm getting this error).
Detail: The Ajax functionality is working pretty fine without any problem but when I invoke a action method then for few minutes the page hangs and throws heap space error.

Take a look at code below:

<h:form id="erfassungForm"
 acceptcharset="UTF-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">

 <h:selectBooleanCheckbox
 value="#{laufzettelBean.wieKunde}"
 id="wieKundeCheck">
 <ajax:support id="ajaxCheck"
 event="onclick"
 action="#{laufzettelBean.erfassungKundeCheckbox}"
 reRender="something" />
 </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

 <h:outputText id="something"
 value="Anrede" />

 <!-- Action Methods -->
 <h:commandButton
 action="#{laufzettelBean.erfassungSpeichern}"
 value="Speichern">
 </h:commandButton>

 <h:commandButton
 action="#{laufzettelBean.erfassungAbbrechen}"
 value="Abbrechen">
 </h:commandButton>
 </h:form>

First I thought it could be Seam problem but when I remove a4j tags then everything works fine (but i need a4j).

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

There is no fileupload in your code snippet. Could you explain this.

Hi.,
Thanks for your response.

There is no fileupload code becos the same effect/result with and without fileupload (I tested both cases).

Thanks

I guess Sergey means that there is no reason to have multipart/form-data when you don't use file upload.

You're right but I have fileupload component.. just to show in post I removed it. Moreover the error occurs independent of fileupload component.

Also i think the error has something to do with MyFaces.

For more info please look into the stack trace below

I mean, without huge value of transfered data I do not see where it might be a problem on our side. Processing the form is a job for JSF implementation itself.

Did anybody hear the problem with enctype="multipart/form-data" ?
