The classes themselves were specifically designed to have no maximum upload size limit (unlike most other file upload utilities), but for your server’s protection the constructor allows you to set a maximum POST size to accept. Any upload larger than the limit is halted. The default maximum is 1 Meg. For a discussion of the difficulties a server has in notifying a client of the error, see the discussion in Java Servlet Programming, 2nd Edition, page 119.
