[jetty-users] Limit max content size for post.

[Rajasekar Elango <relango@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We would like to limit max size of json data can be posted using REST api. Based on this documentation http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/setting-form-size.html

I have set value of attribute "org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize" to 2 (picked very small value for testing)  for jetty Server class using spring configuration.

Here is the code of spring configuration:

<bean id="jettyServer" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server"

          destroy-method="stop">

   ..... 

</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">

        <property name="targetObject">

            <ref local="jettyServer"/>

        </property>

        <property name="targetMethod">

            <value>setAttribute</value>

        </property>

        <property name="arguments">

            <list>

                <value>org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize</value>

                <value>2</value>

            </list>

        </property>

</bean>

Before starting the server, I also verified that attribute "org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.maxFormContentSize" has the value "2" on jettyServer instance.

However, I can successfully post json data to REST api over 2 bytes and not getting any errors. 

Am I missing anything? What is right way to limit content size that jetty can accept and verify if it works?

Raja.
