Direct Streaming of attachments
-------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-2456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2456
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Jochen Zink


It would be great to get direct access to the inputstream, which is used for 
Attachments.

At the moment, the attachment is cached in files or it is stored in memory.

Big files can't store in memory (OutOfMemoryException) and the FileCaching 
feature of axis could run in several problems. The first on, the application 
has to clean up the cache directory. That is not nice. It is possible to run in 
concurrent use of the temp Files.

The bigger problem is, that applicationservers can forbidden the write access 
to hard disc. In this case, axis is not able to consume binary contents and 
cache them in files.

The best solution is, that axis direct streams the attachment to the 
application. I know, that could be difficult if some handlers also have to read 
the stream (security, etc.). But it should be possible and would spend a very 
very usefull and nice feature for using axis for business projects.
