This is the configuration of my server.xml file
<Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" SSLEnabled="true"
scheme="https" secure="true" connectionTimeout="40000" connectionUploadTimeout="36000000" disableUploadTimeout="false" bufferSize="4096" acceptCount="250" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
/>
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" secure="true" executor="tomcatThreadPool"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="250" connectionTimeout="40000" packetSize="21000" redirectPort="8443" bufferSize="4096" />
My web.xml upload parameter is :-
<context-param>
<!-- max size of the upload request -->
<param-name>maxSize</param-name>
<param-value>26214400</param-value>
</context-param>

You also need to add this to your web.xml. The size is in octets
<context-param>
<param-name>maxSize</param-name>
<param-value>100000</param-value>
</context-param>
