Description

We have a well working file transfer service that works with files up to approximately 2.1 GB (probably Integer.MAX_VALUE: 2147483647 bytes?).

When transferring even larger files, Axis2 fails with the following message:
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Referenced Attachment not found in the MIME Message. ContentID:1.urn:uuid:[e-mail]

What happens is:
The client transfers the complete file to the server.
The server correctly caches the file in the attachmentDIR folder.
The AxisFault is thrown.

The server-side cached file have the exact same byte-length as the file the client sent, so every byte has been transferred.

I am currently using Windows XP with NTFS and support for files much larger than 2.1 GB on both sides, Axis2 1.3, Tomcat 5.5.x, document-literal style, ADB, MTOM and caching to disk.

The DataHandler that is supplied to the client stub is generated like this:
FileDataSource datasource = new FileDataSource(localFile);
dh = new DataHandler(datasource);

Parts of my Axis2.xml file:
<parameter name="enableMTOM">true</parameter>
<parameter name="enableSwA">false</parameter>
<parameter name="cacheAttachments">true</parameter>
<parameter name="attachmentDIR">C:/TEMP/da_server_temp/</parameter>
<parameter name="sizeThreshold">50000</parameter>

Axis2 mailing list answers to my question:
