null request body for large data

Question

I am sending large amount of text in the body of post method. I use Postman for testing that. However its working fine and i can read request body like this:

String text = request().body().asText();

But when i try to send large amount of data in the body i get null for the text. I also tried using the string builder but i also get null.

 InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(request().body().asText().getBytes()); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

Is there a way to get that fixed??

The data you are trying to post is bigger than 128k (the default in Play)? If so change it adding to aplication.conf parsers.text.maxLength=4M, for example — Salem

@Salem in that case i dont think play continues with the controllers logic. Instead i think it throws a bad request or something like that. This is an example link — Santiago Ferrer Deheza

thanks, adding parsers.text.maxLength=4M to application.conf worked for me! — user3687679

By default Play limits the upload data size to 100kb to text parsers(*). This can be changed to a bigger value globally using parsers.text.maxLength in application.conf

parsers.text.maxLength=4M

or in a specific Response or Action using

@BodyParser.Of(value = TheBodyParser.class, maxLength = 4 * 1024 * 1024) public Result upload() { // (...) }

or

def upload = Action(parse.text(maxLength = 4 * 1024 * 1024)) { request => // () }

(*) To parsers that buffer content (ex multipart form) the limit is 10MB and can be changed using parsers.disk.maxLength
