RE: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23
For my Red Hat delivered Tomcat, changes to the connector attribute were ignored. However, I did find a fix that works. In tomcat5.conf, after all other settings are added to JAVA_OPTS, add the value you desire for max parameter count like this: # RH KB 100383 # Override default max parameter count of 512 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT=1" The Red Hat KB article references JBoss run script, but the above works fine for standalone Tomcat. -Original Message- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 3:51 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23 > From: Haenni, Tia [mailto:thae...@burnsmcd.com] > Subject: RE: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23 > I read some posts where it was apparently ignored and the default used > instead.

Not on a Tomcat mangled by Red Hat - you're on your own with that.

Konstantin, I am aware of the EOL for 5.5. We plan to upgrade to 6.x (whatever version RH decides to bestow upon us) Thanks! -Original Message- From: Konstantin Kolinko [mailto:knst.koli...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 3:43 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23 2012/5/12 Haenni, Tia : > Chuck, > > Thank you for your response.

You have that strange version of Tomcat, we do not.

RE: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23
Chuck, Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, due to some company policies on supporting packages as supplied by Red Hat, I am stuck with 5.5.23 for now. I've read the docs and I am aware of the setting for maxParameterCount, which is not set at all in my Tomcat. What I don't know is if it will be honored. I read some posts where it was apparently ignored and the default used instead. Can you confirm that setting maxParameterCount in the connector attribute will override the default? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 3:19 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23 > From: Haenni, Tia [mailto:thae...@burnsmcd.com] > Subject: maxParameterCount with Tomcat 5.5.23 > A recent RHEL patch supplied the following Tomcat packages Note that 5.5.23 is over five years old...
