I know that it is difficult to check the file size on the client (browser) side only with pure javascript.
Now, my question is: is there a way on the server side to catch such an exception?
org.springframework.web.multipart.MaxUploadSizeExceededException: Maximum upload size of 2000000 bytes
What happens is that it does not reach my mail method @controller, and it just throws an exception that catches up with my error.jsp.
What I was thinking about is it possible to do this in the annotated spring mvc method?
@RequestMapping("/uploadFile.htm")
public String uploadAttachment(
HttpServletRequest request,
@RequestParam(required = false, value = "attached-file") MultipartFile file,
ModelMap model) throws Exception {
if(checkfilesize(file)){
}
}
}
My problem is that it does not reach this point and just throws a big fat exception.
Although error.jsp was able to catch it, I would think that it is very user friendly if I can warn the user that the file they are loading is exceeding the limit.
This is spring application MVC 2.5. Is it possible?
