Description

When customers send MTOM attachments having a certain size, the Axis2 runtime uses Axiom to 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, and may be removed only when the JVM exits. This can cause a lot of files to accumulate on the customer's file system and eat up disk space, and some of these files can be quite large.

Note that the internal sizeThreshold property controls whether attachment files are written to memory or as files to the disk.
