Try setting System properties via jetty.xml
<Call class="java.lang.System" name="setProperty">
<Arg>org.mortbay.jetty.Request.maxFormContentSize</Arg>
<Arg>500000</Arg>
</Call>
ok you can configure it from your web app
Add WEB-INF/jetty-web.xml file in your web application
and configure the parameter in that file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN"
"http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
<Configure id="WebAppContext" class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Set name="maxFormContentSize" type="int">600000</Set>
</Configure>
Version 7 or Higher
Since version 7, Jetty’s classes have moved to a different package. You must replace org.mortbay...
with org.eclipse...
(Thanks to David for his comment).
