This is because you set the max file size to be 2097152 for org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase. you can catch the 'SizeLimitExceededException' to instead of the 'attachmentFileName.length() > ApplicationDefs.TWO_MB'

if(attachmentFileName != null){ try{ InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(attachmentFileName); if(attachmentFileName.length() > ApplicationDefs.TWO_MB){ addActionError("Sorry your file is size is greater than 2 MB"); return; }

Are you passing the "fileName" or the actual File Object as attachmentFileName?

the files which are browsed from browse button iam putting those data inside "attachmentFileName". iam passing this one into the FileInputStream
