Class TempFileManager

java.lang.Object
org.eclnt.jsfserver.util.tempfile.TempFileManager
public class TempFileManager extends Object
Little framework for storing any content (byte[]) in a temporary file system and to provide a URL that points to this content.

Each content receives some internal id, which is then picked up within the URL that is created and which is processed by TempFileAccessServlet.

The content is automatically removed from the temporary file system when the session is closed.

      Read the content type - if it was passed when calling saveTempFile(String, String, byte[]).

    • findTempFileContentType

      public static String findTempFileContentType(String sessionId, String path)
      Read the content type - if it was passed when calling saveTempFile(String, String, byte[]).
