Unable to load large files via web services

Summary

[toc on_off::hide=1]

Unable to load files via web services. (Smaller files load, but larger ones fail.)

Symptom

The client error is the following: Each DIME Stream must be read fully or closed in succession.

The server log shows the following:

WARN AttachmentsImpl,ajp-8009-6:558 - Exception:

Cause

The error occurs only with large files. The reason for this is that Axis keeps small files entirely in memory, but it spools larger files to disk before loading them into the repository. Axis has a hard-coded limit of 16k bytes as the boundary between small and large files.

This error indicates that Axis was not able to save the file into its designated temporary directory.

Resolution

You may determine which directory is used as the temporary directory by viewing webapps/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd:

<parameter name="attachments.Directory" value="attachments"/>

1. The most common solution is to change permissions on the directory webapps/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/attachments.
2. An alternative solution is to designate a different directory for attachments.
