How to implement guide with file upload size limit in spring boot - getting 413 scenarios
I'm following best practices but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with a `413 Payload Too Large` behavior when attempting to upload files larger than 2MB in my Spring Boot application (version 2.5.4). I have set the file upload size limits in my `application.properties` file, but it seems that the changes are not taking effect. Here's what I've added in `application.properties`: ```properties spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=10MB spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size=10MB ``` Despite this configuration, when I try to upload a file larger than 2MB, I still get the behavior. I even tried setting these properties programmatically in my main application class: ```java import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc; @SpringBootApplication @EnableWebMvc public class MyApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(MyApplication.class, args); } } ``` I also ensured that there's no additional configuration in a WebMvcConfigurer that might be overriding my file size limits. As a sanity check, I tested with smaller files, and they upload without any issues. Additionally, I check the server logs and see the behavior: ``` 2023-10-01 12:30:45.123 WARN 12345 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound.log : 413 Payload Too Large ``` I suspect something might be misconfigured at the server level or there might be another limit imposed by the embedded Tomcat server. Any insights or additional configurations I might be missing? Also, what are the best practices for handling file uploads in Spring Boot to avoid such issues? This is part of a larger service I'm building. Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. This is my first time working with Java LTS. I've been using Java for about a year now.
