Hi Martin, Thanks for your ideas. But this is making life more complex. The web service client(the real users of the web service) can directly send large files to the web server. I have no control over that. I cannot ask them to send zip files or whatever. But from server side, I should restrict the size of the file to be 5mb.
I thought this is just a parameter setting in the axis2.xml There is a similar parameter setting in the tomcat service.xml as maxPostSize="<in bytes>" , this will restrict the size of incoming POST request. But this does not work for axis web service requests, but that configuration is quite easier and no need to waste time on clustering and stuff. Hope in future, we will be able to get such configurable solution. Thank you.

We cannot request from the clients to send small files and people are always willing to blame us by crashing the web server. There may be some settings in the tomcat configurations to limit the size of incoming request. Any suggestions? Thank you.
