I searched online and found:

Apache Tomcat by default sets a limit on the maximum size of HTTP POST requests
it accepts. In Tomcat 5, this limit is set to 2 MB. When you try to upload
files larger than 2 MB, this error can occur.

The solution is to reconfigure Tomcat to accept larger POST requests, either by
increasing the limit, or by disabling it. This can be done by editing
[TOMCAT_DIR]/conf/server.xml. Set the Tomcat configuration parameter
maxPostSize for the HTTPConnector to a larger value (in bytes) to increase the
limit. Setting it to 0 in will disable the size check.

So on kepler-dev, i added a new parameter - maxPostSize with value equaling 0
on connect 8009. Then I asked derik to test. It worked.
