Where does spring stores large files for upload?

Question

When using CommonsMultipartResolver for file uploads where does spring stores larger files while processing them ?

We have a js check for the size and we put a maxUploadSize. If a user bypasses the js control and sends a huge file, what does spring do to process it ?

Thanks in advance

CommonsMultipartResolver will save to the Servlet container's temporary directory.

You can limit the size of uploads by setting maxUploadSize property (default is 10240 bytes).

for example:

<bean id="multipartResolver" class="o.s.w.m.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver">
  ...
  <property name="maxUploadSize" value="###"/>
</bean>
