[Axis2] File Caching for Attachments

[Thilina Gunarathne <cs...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I implemented a  temporary file caching solution for Axis2.With this
we'll be able to directly pump the mime parts in incoming stream to
temporary files, without buffering them at all in memory. We achieve
this by parsing the part headers by our selves and then writing the
rest of the part to a temporary file till we reach the boundary...

Anybody can switch on file caching from the server.xml. When it's set
to true all the parts will get stored as files.. Also one can specify
the directory where attachments should be stored..
When it's not mentioned we are saving it in the working directory
which is bit troublesome....
Also is there any way to delete the temporary files after consuming them..

thanx & regards,
~Thilina

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
