This is very unusual error thrown by Jboss server. Error it self explain that you are passing more than 512 parameters in request. Which is not good practice but if situation drives you in that way. There is solution available for it.

"To change this limit, set the maxParameterCount attribute on the Connector." this message seems informative but actually its wrong message in case of JBoss 7 or may be in future versions.

Error message you've

java.lang.IllegalStateException: More than the maximum number of request parameters (GET plus POST) for a single request ([512]) were detected. Any parameters beyond this limit have been ignored. To change this limit, set the maxParameterCount attribute on the Connector.

Solution:
We need to use org.apache.tomcat.util.http.* library to solve this error. You don't need to import or download this library. It already available in Jboss. All you need to increase value of Parameter Count.

Jboss 7
Step 1: Open standalone.xml file available in "jboss7\standalone\configuration" folder.
Step 2: Paste below code after </extensions> tag and change value as per your requirement.

<system-properties>
   <property name="org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT" value="2000"/>
</system-properties>

Jboss 6 or lower (I didn't try but it has to work in lower version of Jboss as suggested by informative message)
Step 1: Open standalone.xml file available in "jboss6\standalone\configuration" folder.
Step 2: Find connector tag same as follow and add maxParameterCount attribute.

<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http" maxParameterCount="1000" />
