Hi,

Happy New Year everybody!

Quite a while ago we found that in OpenCMIS 0.10.0 the parseEagerly=true in 
StreamingAttachment caused content to be buffered in tomcat's temp directory 
(or in memory). See below.

This was fixed in OpenCMIS 0.11.0.

There is a client-side counterpart in 
chemistry-opencmis-client-bindings/src/main/java/org/apache/chemistry/opencmis/client/bindings/spi/webservices/SunRIPortProvider.java,
 line 65:  a StreamingAttachmentFeature is created with parseEagerly=true. This 
causes MIME*.tmp files to be created in %TEMP% for every sufficiently big 
document that is downloaded.

Would that be something that could be changed or made customizable in a future 
OpenCMIS version?

Thanks
Uwe

 Hi Uwe,

 The current code base (in trunk) does not do eager parsing.
