How to change size limit for uploaded files

headers Enrique Perez | 27 Nov 08:42

Hello Raquel,

When you start the Nuxeo server, the nuxeo.war folder is generated 
again. So, if you modify the web.xml file when you start the server this 
file is overrided.

So, you must create a new plugin to override this property.

I've done it using the following steps, I don't know if there is an easy 
way:

To add a contribution to the web.xml file you have to use the 
deployment-fragment.xml file from your extension project.

You can see the web.xml template in 
{$NUXEO_EP_FOLDER}/server/default/deploy/nuxeo.ear/OSGI-INF/templates/web.xml

The size of the uploaded files is in the %{FILTER}% section. So, you 
must overrided it with your new configuration. This section is defined 
in the deployment-fragment from the nuxeo-platform-ui-web package.

Take a look to this file (you can find the package in the 
/nuxeo.ear/platform folder) and copy in your deployment-fragment the 
"<extension target="web#FILTER">" section. Attention: copy all the section.

To override it, you have to set the mode to replace. So you must have 
something like that:

<extension target="web#FILTER" mode="replace">

...
<context-param>

<param-name>
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE
</param-name>

<param-value>Your new size</param-value>
</context-param>
</extension>

This plugin must be activated after the nuxeo-platform-ui-web package is 
loaded. So, you have to add this module to the Require-Bundle section of 
your MANIFEST.MF.

This is my MANIFEST.MF:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 1
Bundle-Name: maximumSizeUpload project
Bundle-SymbolicName: es.yerbabuena.maximumSizeUpload;singleton:=true
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Vendor: Nuxeo
Provide-Package: es.yerbabuena
Require-Bundle: org.nuxeo.runtime,
org.nuxeo.ecm.core.api,
org.nuxeo.ecm.core,
org.nuxeo.ecm.webapp.core,
org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui
Nuxeo-Component:

You can see the name of the nuxeo-platform-ui-web component in its 
MANIFEST.MF (the Bundle-SymbolicName).

If you deploy it and start the server you will see that the web.xml has 
the right value now.

Another option is download the source code, modify the size in the 
deployment-fragment of the nuxeo-platform-ui-web package, repackage this 
module and copy it in the platform folder (delete the old package before).

Regards.

change that limit rewritting the script that contains it (.../nuxeo.war/WEB-INF/web.xml) but
everytime I reboot the service it creates a new web.xml with the old value. Is there any easy way to change it
and be able to upload bigger files?
