maximum length of form parameter
Hi,
I have a problem I am not even sure if it's related to tomcat or not.
I submit a form from a jsp to another. Some parameters of the form can get
really big.
When a certain parameter, say "genelists", has a huge number of genes, it
wouldn't work.
For smaller number it still works.
so the question is
a) is there a set limit on the length of a parameter of a form from tomcat?
b) if yes, is there any way to adjust this length?
I am running tomcat 5.5.
I know it's a vague question. I would be happy to provide more
information..if I knew what to provide :)
Please accept my apologies if this has nothing to do with tomcat. Any ideas
are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kaustubh

OK, how big is "huge", and how are you trying to process this?
And what *exactly* is the log message associated with "wouldn't work"?

What if you were to assign some form of record ID that associated with a
gene name so you could pass the ID's and not a descriptive name. This would
reduce the number of characters in the stream. You might look at some other
way to pass the information. You might be trying to bite off more than is
reasonable to chew.

There isn't a consistent limit on URL length across different browsers
and servers, but if you're hitting that limit, switch from GET to POST.
