Hi there,
 
I have some servlet code that is correctly uploading two files however
two parameters that are passed to the servlet are also creating temp
files that I am unable to delete until resin restarts. As this will be
infrequent I need to resolve this. I can see that File.deleteOnExit() is
called but I have also explicitly called FileItem.delete()
 
I have modified Fileitem.delete() to return a boolean (which incidently
I would have thought to be a good idea anyway...shall I pass this to the
dev forum?)
 
public boolean delete()
    {
        byteStream = null;
        content = null;
        boolean ret = false;
        if (storeLocation != null && storeLocation.exists())
        {
            ret = storeLocation.delete();
        }
        return ret;
    }

This always returns 'false' !!!
 
Any clues ?
 
Bill
