protecting from big requests

[rameshch45]

Hi,

I am using Apache + Tomcat 5.

My java/jsp/struts application takes many "file-uploads" or "content from textareas" and does some processing.

I have several struts action classes for the same.

I want to put one "central" gate-level check to see the size of the request - if it is more than some specified size, return a polite 500 message to the user otherwise proceed with normal processing.

How do I configure/code such a filter?

Hope this is not RTFM.

Thank you.

Greetings, rameshch45!

You might consider posting a bit of code, even though I am not an expert I'd probably be able to least do a search on it for ya,

how's that for deal, you tel us in detail what you want in code or pseudocode, then we'll go from there.
