RichFaces 4.2.0 FileUpload / Ajax max file size

[ionutvaidianu]

Hello,

Is there a way to set the max allowed file size for uplaod (using ajax) in RichFaces 4.2.0?

In the previous versions this could have been specified in web.xml, but in 4.2.0 the parameters in web.xml are no longer supported (actually the Filter class fron the Ajax support package no longer exists in 4.2.0), so I gues there must be another way to set them.

I'm trying to make the uploader allow me to load large files (e.g. 20GB, tested and failing for a file of 9.7GB), but I can no longer find where the max allowed size for uploading a file is specified. Please not that I am using the <rich:fileUpload> component.

Thanks!

Hello,

Its given in the component reference.

"To limit the maximum size of the uploaded files, define the byte size with theorg.richfaces.fileUpload.maxRequestSize context parameter of the web.xml settings file for the project."

The link for it is

http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_2_X/Component_Reference/en-US/html/chap-Component_Reference-Rich_inputs.html#sect-Component_Reference-Rich_inputs-richfileUpload

Please try it out!

Hello,

The above specified parameter is working, I have set the limit to 100GB, but tested only with a file of 9.7GB (which did not work when this limit was not set).

I would also like to make a note on the fact that the first time I tried to use this limit it did not work apparently, but later I tried again and it finally worked.

Thanks.
