JBoss EAP 6 continues an application processing without throwing an exception when the POST request exceeds the max-post-size limit

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • JBoss EAP 6 continues an application processing without throwing an exception when the POST request exceeds the max-post-size limit.
  • We have a web application which accepts a form request with the Content-Type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Even if the client's POST form data exceeds the max-post-size limit, JBoss EAP 6 does not throw an exception and continues the application processing without the POST request data. Is this an expected behavior? Is it possible to change to throw an exception?
