ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

Question

Hi,
I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
An unexpected error ocurred.
The error's technical description is:
"javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
Possible causes are:
The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
Has someone resolve it?
Thank's.

Hi,
Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.
