H... I'm not sure why hitting the 8080 HTTP connector would act differently w/ respect to temp files than that 8009 AJP connector. One thought that comes to mind is to have your own internal temp directory. Since this won't be a real temp directory you will get the advantage of a folder

Hi David Thanks for further engaging this with me. Yes, I am creating the file in an Action, dropping it in the tmpdir and reading it with a jsp that calls a servlet that reads the parameters and displays. What I find odd is everything works perfectly when executed from localhost:8080... Ho

Tomcat doesn't have any config for the temp dir that I know of...it's more of a jvm thing. I believe Sun's jvm is supposed to delete the file when it's associated file handle is gc'd. Can you provide your OS, jdk and a chunk of sample code if how you are using the temp dir? Also assuming the
