InputFile doesn't show File too large message

Question

Hello,
I've got an inputFile component on my adf page and maximum file size specified in web.xml:
<af:inputFile id="if1" binding="#{backingBeanScope.UploadBean.inputFile}"
   valueChangeListener="#{backingBeanScope.UploadBean.onUploading}"
   autoSubmit="true" simple="true" label="Upload"/>
<context-param>
    <description>Should be 250Mb</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE</param-name>
    <param-value>262144000</param-value>
  </context-param>When I'm trying to upload a 400Mb file the application gets busy for a couple of seconds and then a red border around inputFile appears.
But there's no message.
How could I specify a userfriendly message?
Like it this post: http://andrejusb.blogspot.ru/2010/12/oracle-ucm-11g-uploading-large-files.html
Upload works fine, this thread is only about "File too large" message.
Thanks.

You are wrong. The file uploading starts in the background. Your listener only gets the stream once it already on the server (either in memory or as a temporary file).
If you use Chrome as a browser you should see that the upload starts, but the processing is canceled once the server finds out about the file size. All this is checked before you get control.
Do a small test and remove the autoSubmit="true" and you'll see the message.
