We had the same problem and after debugging a few commons-fileupload classes (and Struts RequestProcessor) we could find that 250-500K of RAM was being used per "request property" (in "multipart" form, an object is created for each form field!).
Since our form had the FormFile field plus 35 "ordinary" others...our request was consuming 20MB! We don't know the reason yet...so we had to isolate the FormFile field in a separated web-page...maybe we could use two form in the same page with the same result. Paulo Alvim Powerlogic - Brazil -----Mensagem original----- De: Elihu Smails [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada em: quinta-feira, 24 de março de 2005 10:40 Para: Tomcat Users List Assunto: commons-fileupload memory problem I am trying to use the commons-fileupload classes and cannot figure out how to keep my uploads from getting stored in memory. I am using the following methods: DefaultFileItemFactory fileItemFactory = new DefaultFileItemFactory( 10, new File("/tmp") ); DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload( fileItemFactory ); When I run tomcat using JDK 1.5's jconsole program and upload a file, my memory usage jumps to about 10x the size of the attachment. Has anyone else used the library successfully? TIA. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
