Subject: Re: [Axis2] File Caching for Attachments
To: Tom Jordahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A quick comment....
It seems it's not possible to have a size threshold according to how we are handling the file storage in Axis2.
We directly stream the incoming binary data to files after reading mime part headers..We are not reading and buffering them to memory. This gives no room to calculate sizes before writing to the disk. Currently what we are doing is if "file caching" is switched "on" all the parts will be directed to files irrespective of sizes....I'll try to come up with a work around.
Any ideas or work arounds to solve this clean up problem are welcome.
Thanx & regards,
~Thilina

It would also be great to have a size threshold - anything over X
K-bytes will be streamed to disk, otherwise we handle it in memory. A
reasonable default should be used and of course it should be user
configurable.

Thilina,
Check Axis 1.X, see how the temp directory is used to store
attachments when the working directory is not specified. Also in a
servlet environment we should not clutter the bin directory with
attachments.
Not cleaning up attachments has been a *****LONG***** standing problem
with Axis 1.X, So PLEASE think of a way to do it and API to do it
explicitly (both on client and server).
thanks,
dims
