Andreas Veithen commented on SYNAPSE-701:
-----------------------------------------
See SYNAPSE-212 for some background information.
The TemporaryData class (which by the way is obsoleted by a class called
OverflowBlob that is now part of Axiom) is not directly affected by this flaw.
However, the flaw has as consequence that it is not always possible to call the
release method. The only way to mitigate that problem is to use a finalizer.
Note that I don't see why the finalizer could lead to an OOM condition.
However, usage of deleteOnExit may cause problems if the JVM keeps references
to the File object even if the file has been deleted.
> Remove the finalize method of the TemporaryData.java in commons module of

> A finalize method can cause delayed garbage collection as well as it doesn't
> guarantee a clean. This can lead to potential Out of Memory errors if these
> classes are used very frequently. Also this method is redundant because this
> object has a explicit release method. So I suggest we remove this redundant
> method.
