I there,

I have a multipart form that upload file and in struts.xml I was able to change the max size:

<constant name="struts.multipart.maxSize" value="10485760"/>

but I can't change the default error message when the request is bigger than allowed.

I've tried add struts.messages.error.file.too.large=Too Large! but I am always getting the same message:

the request was rejected because its size (31720350) exceeds the configured maximum (10485760)

  • That is the limit for the overall request, not for the single file size: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16934584/1654265 – Andrea Ligios Jun 26 '14 at 16:04
  • ok, but that doesn't answer my question.. how can I change the default message? And I tried use a interceptor but with a interceptor the action was skipping the validator.. So what you would suggest? – tviana Jun 26 '14 at 16:09

The message is coming from commons-fileupload framework which is default implementation of file uploading feature of the Struts2 framework. Struts2 also uses JakartaMultipartRequest class to parse request. Even if you can change this class via configuration, you shouldn't do that. At the first look it seems to handle all exceptions thrown by underlying framework. For example you can change the value of the key

struts.messages.upload.error.SizeLimitExceededException=your message
