ClientAbortException: java.io.IOException during big file upload

Question

I have a Spring application where user uploads big files (more than 300 mb). In local, it's working perfectly fine. However, when I try to use my application in Live, most of the time it fails (some times it gets succeed though). Here is the log from console. Can anyone help me to how to get rid of the error. I am using JQuery Chunk file upload functionality. Server is Tomcat 6.

Too late for the original poster I'm sure, but for future readers here's your solution.

If you're using jquery you need to set a longer timeout value for your async request to complete. This blog entry provides one method of doing this. In your case you're not logging in, but the example should give you what you need. Quoting the post...

function SuccessFunction(data, status) {

          var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data.d);
          if (obj.Success == “true”) {
              writeConsole(‘logging in’);
              $.ajax({
                  type: “GET”,
                  url: ‘<% Response.Write(url); %>?’ + obj.UserNameAndPassword,
                  dataType: ‘jsonp’,
                  complete: function() {
                      $.mobile.changePage(“#success”, { transition: “fade” });
                  },
                  timeout: 5000 // sets timeout to 5 seconds
              });
          }
          else {
              $(“#popupFail”).popup(“open”, { transition: “fade” });
              writeConsole(‘login failure ‘);
          }
          return;
      }

...I recommend finding a way to centralize this value rather than sprinkling it arbitrarily throughout your scripts. Be careful not to pick a timeout that is too short in constrained environments. Your development experience is almost always better then the experience in the wild.
