h1. Netty module

p(note). **Warning! This version contains JBoss Netty 3.2.0 rc 1. Be sure to remove the previous version of Netty in your module directory**

The netty module allows you to use JBoss Netty:http://jboss.org/netty as a play! server.

Version 3.2.0 rc 1 of Netty.

h2. <a>Enable the Netty module for the application</a>

In the **/conf/application.conf** file, enable the Netty module by adding this line:

bc. # The netty module
module.netty=${play.path}/modules/netty

h2. <a>Starting the Play! with netty as application server</a>

bc. play netty:run myapplication

h2. <a>Configuration</a>

By default, there is no maximum upload size. But the max upload size can be configured. In your application.conf add the following line:

bc. play.module.netty.maxContentLength=1048576

This line set the maximum upload size to 1048576 bytes.

A value of -1 means that there is no maximum upload size (the default).

If the limit is exceeded, then an error message is set in the error scope. You can access it with the #{error} tag:

bc. #{errors}
   <li>${error}</li>
#{/errors}

To change the default message, use the following message key:

play.module.netty.content.length.exceeded=My error

This property is currently set in the conf/messages directory of the netty module.
