Play framework websevice - activator start issue w

Question

I am creating web-service APIs using the Play framework with Java. I have created the service successfully.

WHAT I DID:

In one web service request, I have sent the base64 string. If I passed the base64 string in the request, I got the below exception.

[warn] p.nettyException - Handling TooLongFrameException
org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.TooLongFrameException: An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes.

After searching in the internet, I got the below solution.

export SBT_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx3084m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Dhttp.netty.maxInitialLineLength=8192"

After setting the SBT_OPTS, I can pass the base64 string in the request and receive it on the server side successfully.

I used the following command for debugging purpose - "activator -jvm-debug 9999 run". So it is working fine.

WHAT IS ISSUE:

But now I tried to deploy this as service. So that I used the following commands - "activator start" (or) "activator start $SBT_OPTS" (or) "activator $SBT_OPTS start".

When I use this commands to start the service, I got the same above issue - "An HTTP line is larger than 4096 bytes."

Can anyone help me to fix this issue?

Please add the below line in your application.conf, then you don't need to set any config at runtime

parsers.text.maxLength=7024K

Its accept the request data upto 7MB, if you need more, you can set it. https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/JavaBodyParsers
