On upload, the commons-fileupload library creates temporary files on the disk which are deleted on completion of the request. I found three mechanisms for deletion in the code - (1) file upload interceptor does an explicit deletion of the files on the return path (after invocation.invoke() ) (2) the DiskFileItem instances created by commons-fileupload has a finalize method that deletes the file and (3) the commons-fileupload DiskFileItemFactory has a reference to a reaper thread that deletes all unreferenced files. For the last one, I couldn't find the code, but it was written so in the comments. =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
