How to determine the file size for multi-part POST request Java?

I want to determine the size of a file in a POST request before it is processed in my backend. Consider 

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(
        @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
        @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) throws IOException {
         String uploadedFileLocation = "somePath" + fileDetail.getFileName();
        // save it
    writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
    String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;
    return Response.ok(output).build();
}

// save uploaded file to new location
private void writeToFile(InputStream uploadedInputStream, String uploadedFileLocation) throws IOException {
    int read;
    final int BUFFER_LENGTH = 1024;
    final byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_LENGTH];
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(uploadedFileLocation));
    while ((read = uploadedInputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        out.write(buffer, 0, read);
    }
    out.flush();
    out.close();
}

I saw I can use the Content-Disposition to get the file size. how can I get the Content-Disposition header to get the length or should there be a function that checks the size of the input stream?

You can use @HeaderParam to get the value of a named header.

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
public Response uploadFile(
    @FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
    @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail,
    @HeaderParam("Content-Disposition") String contentDisposition
) throws IOException {

Note that you still need to add the file size to the header in the client side, assuming you're using something like the DOM File API and fetch.

You should count buffer size. 

.... 
int size=0;

while ((read = uploadedInputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
    out.write(buffer, 0, read);
    size += read.length;
}
System.out.println("size : "+size);
