Holger Hoffstätte commented on IO-116:
--------------------------------------
Jochen, yes you are right: it is possible to control the lifetime & shutdown
properly but I was suggesting that we prevent the creation of yet another extra
Thread at all. Active objects don't really need their own Thread, they only
need to be run in certain intervals and decoupled. If every little object would
start its own Thread all hell would break loose. That was all, really.
(Java really needs a better abstraction for lightweight active objects that do
not correspond 1:1 to Threads..)
> Replace static FileCleaner methods

> Key: IO-116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-116
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Attachments: commons-io-filecleaningtracker.patch
>
>
> The attached patch aims to finally resolve the problems, which are named in
> IO-99, FILEUPLOAD-120, and FILEUPLOAD-125.
> I choosed a conservative strategy: Basically I copied the FileCleaner class
> to an instantiable class FileCleaningTracker with instance methods. The
> static FileCleaner methods are now implemented by a static instance of
> FileCleaningTracker. (The name FileCleaningTracker is, of course,
> questionable.
> The FileCleaningTestCase was also created by simply copying FileCleaner to
> FileCleaningTestCase. FileCleanerTestCase is now similarly implemented as a
> subclass of FileCleanerTestCase which uses the static instance of FileCleaner
> rather than a dynamically created instance.
