In case you want to update maxUploadSize for an already deployed WAR or prior to deploying.

This is meant to replace the obsolete PR Adds WAR configuration option for maxUploadSize from the archived geonetwork/doc repository.

I don't think this is correct, this value is used for the old Jeeves MVC services, while the /services/src/main/resources/config-spring-geonetwork.xml value is used for Spring MVC services.

It is not clear to me if we still have Jeeves MVC services for file uploads or they have all been migrated to Spring MVC.

I just worked on the following PR #8427 where I tested the file upload size error handling so I changed the upload size several times during testing and I would set it by adding the following option to the CATALINA_OPTS on application startup.

-Dapi.params.maxUploadSize=1000000000

The value is in bytes. So this sample sets the upload size to 1GB.

That value is used here

core-geonetwork/services/src/main/resources/config-spring-geonetwork.xml

Line 82 in 9afd1bf

<property name="maxUploadSize" value="\${api.params.maxUploadSize}"/>

And seems to default to default to 100 MB.

core-geonetwork/services/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config.properties

Line 21 in 9afd1bf

api.params.maxUploadSize=100000000

I believe the maxUploadSize specified by Jeeves may be used for something else? I have not tested that value so I'm not sure where it is used?

Thanks @ianwallen for your clarification. I should have taken a more thorough look into the current configuration possibilities. I will revert my misleading lines in the proposed commit and instead just include one sentence on how you suggested to configure the maxUploadSize during application deployment.
