Jetty limits the amount of data that can post back from a browser or other client to the server. This helps protect the server against denial of service attacks by malicious clients sending huge amounts of data. The default maximum size Jetty permits is 200000 bytes. You can change this default for a particular webapp, for all webapps on a particular Server instance, or all webapps within the same JVM.
The method to invoke is: ContextHandler.setMaxFormContentSize(int maxSize);
This can be done either in a context XML deployment descriptor external to the webapp, or in a jetty-web.xml
file in the webapp’s WEB-INF
directory.
In either case the syntax of the XML file is the same:
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<!-- Max Form Size -->
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -->
<Set name="maxFormContentSize">200000</Set>
</Configure>
Set an attribute in jetty.xml
on the Server instance for which you want to modify the maximum form content size:
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server">
<Call name="setAttribute">
<Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize</Arg>
<Arg>200000</Arg>
</Call>
</Configure>
Important
It is important to remember that you should not modify the XML files in your
$JETTY_HOME
. If you do for some reason feel you want to change the way an XML file operates, it is best to make a copy of it in your$JETTY_BASE
in an/etc
directory. Jetty will always look first to the$JETTY_BASE
for configuration.
Use the system property org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize
.
This can be set on the command line or in the $JETTY_BASE\start.ini
or any $JETTY_BASE\start.d\*.ini
module ini file.
Using $JETTY_BASE\start.d\server.ini
as an example:
# ---------------------------------------
# Module: server
# Enables the core Jetty server on the classpath.
# ---------------------------------------
--module=server
