ANSWER:

  • By default, the maximum file size that can be uploaded by the Tomcat 7 manager is 52428800 bytes.  Do the following to change the default:
    1. Edit the web.xml of the manager application.  You can find the web.xml file for the manager application in the webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml of your tomcat installation.
    2. find the <multipart-config> tag and increase the max-file-size and max-request-size to something larger than the war file size you want to deploy. 
      <multipart-config> 
    <max-file-size>52428800</max-file-size> 
    <max-request-size>52428800</max-request-size> 
    <file-size-threshold>0</file-size-threshold> 
</multipart-config>
