    • Type: Bug

    • Priority: Normal

    • Affects Version/s: 8.5.1.2

    • Environment:

      Tomcat / Jetty behave differently

    • gh.sprint.customfield.default.name:
      ZK 8.6.0 S1, ZK 8.6.0 S2

      Description

      Steps to Reproduce

      run the attached example
      click the buttons to test the server's / client engine's behavior when the appserver's message size limits are exceeded (red buttons)

      Current Result

      Tomcat:

      • shows error box at client side
      • no error in server logs
      • retries falling back to /zkau produce error code 467
      • after cancelling /zkau continues to work

      Jetty:

      • no error box at client side
      • exception at server side 'MessageTooLargeException: Frame is too large'
      • no attempt to retry
      • fallback to /zkau continues to work

      Expected Result

      • consistent error handling where possible, client side and/or server side
      • reliable retry mechanism using /zkau fallback

      Ideally detect message size limits and chunk them or use a streaming method

      Debug Info

      Root Cause

      application server specific websocket request size limits
      tomcat: 8192 bytes docs
      jetty: 65536 bytes source

      Workaround

      on tomcat increase size limit (the default size 8kb is quite limiting)
      e.g. 64kb which is the default in Jetty makes accidental problem less likely to happen
