thank you for the response, Anuj. However, I am not entirely certain if this property applies. For one thing, I am only using tomahawk, not trinidad, and also I was able to upload files in hundred-megabyte range, just not in GB, so if this property was the cause, I wouldn't even be able to get these files in.
I even enabled debug log on myfaces objects, but it didn't log anything at all, no exceptions. Any other possibilities?
