I've seen it, as well. In fact, having a look, I see it on one of my machines at the moment.
[peter@epiphone peter]$ ls -l /opt/tomcat/temp/ total 578 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 587776 Apr 16 12:44 jar_cache62255.tmp I very clearly remember coming across it. My /tmp is small on that machine. I kept running out of disk space. I needed to put -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/tomcat/temp in my CATALINA_OPTS (and create that directory). The stuff is created in your temporary directory. I think there is some other stuff that ends up in that directory, but it doesn't appear when you do a listing in *nix systems. The numbers weren't adding up for me. Probably the old trick where you create a temporary file and unlink it straight away (or whatever, it's been a while since I've done that). I'm on build 1.3.1_03-b03 on Linux. ...Peter Luca Morandini writes: > Vadim, > > I've found evidence of a bug like this under JRE 1.2... but I'm using 1.3.1 > and those files are still there :( > > Anyway, I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this problem.... > > Best regards, > > --------------------------------------------- > Luca Morandini > GIS Consultant > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://utenti.tripod.it/lmorandini/index.html > --------------------------------------------- > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Vadim Gritsenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 9:53 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: How to clear the jar_cache files ? > > > > > > > From: Luca Morandini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: Vadim Gritsenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > > Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 9:08 PM > > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Subject: RE: How to clear the jar_cache files ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > They're located in the temp directory of my server and have names > > > > like: > > > > > jar_cache35350.tmp, jar_cache35354.tmp... and so on at the tune of > > > > about 50 > > > > > a day. > > > > > > > > I have some files named like this, but in totally different > > directory: > > > > %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\jar_cache14163.tmp > > > > > > > > I'm 90% sure that they were created neither by Tomcat, nor by JDK. > > > > > > > > > > I beg to differ, since I removed Cocoon and they 're still produced > > (though > > > in much smaller numbers). > > > Regarding the different location in the file system, it dependes on > > the > > > different setting of the $TEMP directory. > > > > > > Any other clue ? > > > > :-/ > > > > Yes.
