Issue

  • When the web content size limit exceeds, there is no error displayed on the UI that the upload size is too large.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Start Liferay DXP 7.4 U83.
    2. Navigate to Control Panel > System Settings > Infrastructure > Upload Servelet Request.
    3. Edit this to 104857 instead of the default value of 104857600.
    4. Navigate to Site Menu > Content and Data > Web Content > Basic Web Content
    5. Try to increase the content as much as possible to go over the limit > Publish.
    7. Click Publish.

    Observed behavior: The user is not able to publish. The publish button is inactive for a second and there is a warning in the Liferay console:

    Unable to parse upload request: the request was rejected because its size (388923) exceeds the configured maximum (104857)


    Expected behavior: Should not be able to publish web content and the error message should be displayed on the UI.
