In CXF 2.1.3 version, the CachedOutputStream does not delete the temporary files that were created. This leads to proliferation of temporary files residing in the file systems. Wouldn't it be better if the temporary files created during LoggingInInterceptor and the LoggingOutInterceptor be deleted after being done with the message? Is there a project plan for this deletion of temporary files in CXF created in LoggingInInterceptor and LoggingOutInterceptor?
My other solution is to grab the source and modify the Interceptor myself. thanks Sonam -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kulp [mailto:dk...@apache.org] Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 2:06 PM To: users@cxf.apache.org Cc: Nepali, Sonam (GE Healthcare, consultant) Subject: Re: CachedOutputStream writing to temp files for large messages On Thu August 13 2009 6:26:06 pm Nepali, Sonam (GE Healthcare, consultant) wrote: > Hello > > What is the difference in that CachedOutputStream.java writes the > large messages to the file versus for smaller size messages that are > less than > (64 * 1024) bytes?

The two areas it impacts are: 1) By allocating larger objects and holding them in memory, it reduces the number of concurrent requests that can be processed. For example, if you set your jvm max memory to -Mx256M or so, you obviously can have less than 50 requests outstanding (actually much less due to overhead itself and such). With 64K max before going to disk, many more requests can be in flight. 2) Garbage collection - lots of small allocations are generally better for the garbage collector. If the message takes a while to process, it may get moved from the short lived space to the middle aged space (or even the old gen space). Each of those would require a copy. Large allocations tend to force the gc to run more often as well. Neither are really a huge deal though if you know what the characteristics of your interactions are.
