Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server * * V7.0 web services that send and receive * * attachments. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: You can set the directory where * * temporary attachment copies are cached. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Web services can send and receive SOAP messages with attachments. If an attachment file exceeds 32KB in size, for performance reasons, the web services runtime will cache a temporary copy of the attachment to disk. Previously, the location where these files are copied was configurable only with the "attachments.Directory" property that is set on the MessageContext. Note that you can set the "com.ibm.websphere.webservices.attachements.maxMemCacheSize" custom property to override the 32KB default for caching threshold and specify a custom value.
Problem conclusion
This APAR allows you to set the custom property "com.ibm.websphere.webservices.tempAttachDir" on the JVM to specify where attachment copies should go. For more details on how to perform this task, refer to the article "Java virtual machine custom properties" in the Information Center for your WebSphere Application Server version and operating system. This custom property was added to WebSphere Application Server V7.0 under PK97891. APAR PK97891 requires changes to documentation. NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our Web site, so the changes might have been made before you read this text. To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the product library page at: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library Changes to the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Information Center will be made available in January, 2010. The topic "Java virtual machine custom properties" will be updated to include the following description of the com.ibm.websphere.webservices.tempAttachDir custom property: com.ibm.websphere.webservices.tempAttachDir Use this property to specify the location on a storage device where you want the Web services runtime to cache a copy of any attachment , that is greater than 32KB in size, that is being sent or received as part of a SOAP message. For performance reasons, the Web services runtime caches a temporary copy of any SOAP message attachment that is greater than 32KB in size. If you do not specify a value for this property, the cached copy of the attachment is typically sent to the default temporary directory for your operating system. APAR PK97891 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.7 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0. Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
