Temp Directory not being cleared

Hi all,

for an application of ours I have to use Orbeon 3.5.1. The application
doesn't use any XForms, it just uses Orbeon as a transformation engine
for XML input I'm sending to a pipeline.

Just yesterday I found out, that every POST I make to the pipeline
results in a "upload_XXXXXXXX.tmp" file being created in the temp
directory of my Tomcat.
I could live with these temporaray files being created. My problem is,
that these files never go away and start cluttering the temp folder.
I didn't change any of the default settings for Orbeon.
So is there any setting I can fiddle with, that will remove these temp
files after the called pipeline has been executed in order to clean up
behind me on the server ?

kind regards

René

René,

Wow, 3.5.1... The files should definitely be cleaned-up after each
request. I don't think there was ever a particular setting for that,
it should just be automatic.

I would strongly recommend using a newer version of Orbeon Forms.

I just tried with 3.7.1 devel and it seems to be working correctly there.
I'll try to convince my project manager to upgrade ;)

I am wondering if in earlier versions of Orbeon Forms those files were kept until the user session expired. Maybe this is worth testing, for instance by setting up the session to be expire after just a minute, and checking if the files are going after 2 minutes. But like you say, it would be much, much better if you can update to a recent release.
