Symptom

When attempting to pass form content of approximately 200000 bytes through a HTTP Server adapter, gets the following error even with the proper setting in tmp.sh:

[2010-12-22 11:14:48.868] WARN 000000000000 GLOBAL_SCOPE [ConduitStreamListener4-0]org.mortbay.http.HttpRequest.extractParameters(HttpReq uest.java:847) WARN!! Form content truncated

Proper settings should be:

(For the OS being AIX)

change the line in the AIX) section from

SERVER_FLAGS="${SERVER_FLAGS} -Dorg.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager=org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault"

to

SERVER_FLAGS="${SERVER_FLAGS} -Dorg.apache.xml.dtm.DTMManager=org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMManagerDefault -Dorg.mortbay.jetty.Request.maxFormContentSize=1000000"

*For older versions of Jetty it may be necessary to use this:

-Dorg.mortbay.http.HttpRequest.maxFormContentSize (GIS 4.3 or prior)


Also, the form content as it would generally pass through the HTTP Client Adapter, rather than the HTTP Server Adapter, would be to do the following:

Set the appropriate content-type/subtype: The difference between an HTTP Client Post Service and a webapp JSP posting to an HTTP Server Adapter is the kind of data being posted. Generally, we use the HTTP Client Post to send a document via HTTP. The Content-Type/SubContent-Type would be something like text/xml or text/html, and the document would be in clear text (usually).

Insert the appropriate JVM flag in the necessary service file: The JSP is submitting data from an html form, and the browser generates a request that is of the type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The limit is in Jetty for this type of post. According to KB article NFX8498, you can work around the limit by adding the appropriate JVM flag in tmp.sh or installNoappWindowsService depending on platform. Windows will require an uninstall/install of windows services.

Modify the JSP form so that it generates a content-type of multipart/form-data, where you would provide the file location in the input box, and then that particular document would be posted in a manner more like what our http client adapter would do.
