  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fixpack containing this APAR.     *
  *                  Set the custom property                     *
  *                  "org.apache.axiom.attachments.tempfile.expir*

  ****************************************************************
  Customers can use MTOM in Feature Pack for Web Services to
  send attachments in JAX-WS applications.
  
  The JAX-WS web services runtime will make copies of these
  attachments and name them with a pattern of AxisXXXXXX.att,
  where XXXXXX is an arbitrary sequence of integers.
  
  These copies may not be deleted in a timely manner.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR introduces a custom property to allow customers to
  specify an expiration time for temporary MTOM attachment
  files.
  
  For the APAR to take effect, the customer should set the
  following custom property to indicate an expiration time (in
  seconds) for an attachment copy:
  
  org.apache.axiom.attachments.tempfile.expiration
  
  The units for this property is in seconds.  The suggested
  value is 600 (ten minutes).
  
  If an attachment copy is not accessed for a period of time
  greater than the expiration time, the JAX-WS runtime will
  delete the copy. The default expiration is 0 seconds, which
  means that the copy will never expire.
  
  Refer to the Information Center article "Java virtual machine
  custom properties" for instructions on how to set a custom
  property on the JVM.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.29.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
