File upload / multipart filter - max request size

[jazir1979]

Hi all,

It's a bit limiting for my app that we can only specify max-request-size for the entire multipart filter. Is it possible to also expose this as an attribute on the s:fileUpload tag so we can have different size limits for different uploads?

If it sounds do-able, let me know and I can lodge a JIRA.

thanks,
Daniel.

This isn't really doable because at the point in time where the file upload request is parsed there is no FacesContext, no view root, etc. What you could possible do though is configure multiple filters with different paths, each with their own max-request-size parameter.

Ahh...I had a feeling there'd be a reason behind it. It's not a big deal at the moment and I could always implement further size restrictions in my business logic to restrict what we really accept. I was just hopeful that it would be do-able ;)

Thanks for your help,
Daniel.
