--- Comment #5 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- (In reply to Andy Wilkinson from comment #3) > > Tomcat shouldn't be creating directories unless explicitly directed to do > > so. > > That seems a little arbitrary to apply that rule in this case. I disagree. > Tomcat already creates directories in several places. A few examples from a > non-exhaustive search of the codebase: > > - JspCompilationContext will create the output directory if needed during > JSP compilation [1] > - Tomcat will create the base directory during startup if needed [2] > - StandardContext will create its work directory if needed [3] Those are all directories that Tomcat manages by itself. If the application, via <multipart-config> or @MultipartConfig, sets an output directory, then Tomcat should not be creating that on its own without a specific request to do so. I don't find the distinction arbitrary at all. > As far as I know, and as far as I can tell from looking at the code, in each > of these cases it's the default behaviour to create the directory. I also > think it's of benefit to Tomcat's usability that it does so. I can't see why > the location used for multipart uploads should be treated any differently. Because it can be set by the application and is not configured and/or managed by Tomcat. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
