Protecting Java webapp (using JAX-RS) against too big HTTP requests

I have a JAX-RS 1.1 resource FooBar that has a method which accepts a String POST parameter as follows

@Path("/foobar")
public class FooBar {

  @POST
  public void doSomething(@FormParam("name") String name) {
    //...
  }
}

Is it possible to protect this from being called if name is longer than a specified maximum? I wonder what it does if the name is of size 1GB?

Typically you would use a filter. Here's an example in Grails, and one in Ruby. Here's a tutorial that would show how to do this in Jersey.

Usually, you can configure maximum size of post request on ServletContainer. For example, Tomcat has maxPostSize setting in httpConnector directive. By default it's 2 mb or so in Tomcat.
