Question

How to handle

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$FileSizeLimitExceededException: The field fileName exceeds its maximum permitted size of 3145728 bytes.

This happens after uploading a file which is bigger than maxFileSize limit in servlet @MultipartConfig. Is there a way to load in browser custom error page or something else because after that client recievs

The connection was reset

I'm guessing the normal servlet error-page mechanism should catch this, so add this to web.xml:

<error-page>
    <error-code>500</error-code>
    <location>/internalerror.html</location>
</error-page>

or to catch any error code, just leave out the <error-code> tag:

<error-page>
    <location>/anyerror.html</location>
</error-page>

it's present & has no effect

can you post the whole stack? could it be that the exception is caught somewhere, like in one of your filters? It should propagate high enough so that the servlet container can 'see' it.
