axis2 - file cache for attachments - file name?

[eric johnson <ej...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've set up file caching for attachments by following these instructions:

http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/mtom-guide.html#a4

I need a way to programmatically know what the name of the file that was
created is so that in my web services skeleton I can process the file. How
can this be accomplished?

I have seen the files that are generated have names such as:

axiomfc4c46332e06dfee16108281aab8ab7c5f1685e8d6ea7ca8.att

Thanks,

Eric

The DataSource stored in the DataHandler that represents the
attachment is actually a FileDataSource instance and you can get the
name of the file from there. However, the fact that Axiom leaks the
file name is actually a design flaw and this will no longer be
supported in future Axis2/Axiom versions (but there will then likely
be a well defined API to convert an attachment to a file). For more
information see [1].
