limit

Can be used in

proxy, serviceProxy, soapProxy, transport, beans

The limit interceptor can be used to limit the maximal body length a request may have.

Syntax

				<limit
					maxBodyLength="integer"
				/>
			

Samples

The following example shows how to use the limit interceptor.

				<serviceProxy port="8080">
					<limit maxBodyLength="52428800" />
					<target host="www.predic8.com" />
				</serviceProxy>			
			

Note that due to the streaming nature of Membrane, a request header may already have been passed on to the backend, when the condition "body.length > X" becomes true. In this case, further processing is aborted and the connection to the backend is simply closed.

To apply <limit/> only to either requests or responses, wrap it in a corresponding tag: <request><limit ... /></request>.

Attributes

Flow

This interceptor is by default applied to both requests and responses. By wrapping it in an <request>...</request> (or <response>...</response>) element, you can select to apply it only to requests (or only to responses). See request and response.
