I've got a fairly simple Spring Boot web application, I have a single HTML page with a form with enctype="multipart/form-data"
. I'm getting this error:
The multi-part request contained parameter data (excluding uploaded files) that exceeded the limit for maxPostSize set on the associated connector.
I'm using Spring Boot's default embedded tomcat server. Apparently the default maxPostSize
value is 2 megabytes. Is there any way to edit this value? Doing so via application.properties
would be best, rather than having to create customized beans or mess with xml files.
Found a solution. Add this code to the same class running SpringApplication.run.
// Set maxPostSize of embedded tomcat server to 10 megabytes (default is 2 MB, not large enough to support file uploads > 1.5 MB)
@Bean
EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer containerCustomizer() throws Exception {
return (ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer container) -> {
if (container instanceof TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory) {
TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcat = (TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory) container;
tomcat.addConnectorCustomizers(
(connector) -> {
connector.setMaxPostSize(10000000); // 10 MB
}
);
}
};
}
Edit: Apparently adding this to your application.properties file will also increase the maxPostSize, but I haven't tried it myself so I can't confirm.
multipart.maxFileSize=10Mb # Max file size.
multipart.maxRequestSize=10Mb # Max request size.
