Url max length when using rest (jersey)

if I ask a (rest) service to give me data with an url like this

http://example.com/?userid=1,2,3,4(...)

there's a url size limit, meaning I am limited in how many userids I can send over to the server.

So far so clear, but if I call this url from a jersey client to a jersy rest service, it seems like I have no limit. So is there a url limit for jersey as well? Thanks

The limit comes from the http servlet container configuration or http client, not from the rest framework as also mentioned in the above response. In case of jetty http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-connectors.html -> HTTP Configuration -> requestHeaderSize

The limit would be defined by your servlet container. For example, this describes setting the limit in tomcat
