You can check the length, in bytes, of the request body and made available by the input stream with the following code:

public Response uploadFile(@Context final HttpServletRequest request, @FormDataParam("uploadFile") InputStream uploadedInputStream,
      @FormDataParam("uploadFile") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail, @FormDataParam("uploadFile") FormDataBodyPart body) {

The key part being @Context final HttpServletRequest request. Then in the method body, you can get the length of the inputstream and react to it accordingly with:

int contentLength = request.getContentLength();

if (contentLength == -1 || contentLength > MAX_REQUEST_SIZE) {
  // deal with it
}
