            Bug ID: 69323
           Summary: Regression in commit 1def0cba38 , the poifiles tmp
                    directory is expected to exist for the lifespan of the
                    application
           Product: POI
           Version: 5.3.0-FINAL
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Mac OS X 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: POI Overall
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: gir...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

It is common practise to let the operating system clean temp directories of old
files. This would eventually clean out the poifiles directory if it hasn't been
used for a while.

The code introduced in commit 1def0cba387d8c869a371768ee3c1c3 introduces this
problem by never even check if the directory still exists.

For a web application, that usually has a lifespan of a number of weeks at
least, this is a problem.

I suggest partly reverting the change and at least have a check that cheks that
the directory still exists.
