Problem

When uploading a WAR file larger than 50 MB, the Tomcat 7 Manager application reports:

The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Exception java.lang.IllegalStateException:

org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException:

the request was rejected because its size (XXX) exceeds the configured maximum (52428800)

Solution

  • Increase the max-file-size and max-request-size:

52428800
