I have made a JSP from where it's possible to upload files to the server. Once the file is uploaded it is base64 encoded and the resulting string is inserted in a textarea in the JSP. The page is then submited to the server.
My problem is that when I try to get the content of the field using request.getParameter("base64file") I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.parseParameters(Request.java:2340)

I only get the problem if I upload a large file (2mb+). I think that it has something to do with size of the request, as it now contains the base64 encoded file. Does anyone know what to do?
