As per the solutions mentioned in this SO thread , we need to set the maxFormContentSize parameter. But such a solution can lead to DoS through hash table vulnerability .
Is there any way other than limiting the post request, may be by breaking it into multiple requests ? I need to use this on a web client with no javascript support.

Jetty added a mechanism to handle this concern quite some time ago by calling setMaxFormKeys on the ContextHandler. Above is the commit adding that support in and the corresponding test case. Exists in jetty 7.6.x and 8.1.x as well as in jetty 9 milestone releases.
