Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of MTOM in IBM WebSphere Application  *
*                  Server V7.0 to send attachments             *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Temporary copies of MTOM attachments    *
*                      are not deleted from the file system    *
*                      in a timely manner                      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fixpack containing this APAR.     *
*                  Set the custom property                     *
*                  "org.apache.axiom.attachments.tempfile.expir*
*                  ation" to an expiration value (in seconds)  *
****************************************************************
Customers can use MTOM 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 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
