Hello,

I've now looked into this a bit deeper. The culprit is a loop that copies data 
a single byte at a time from the InputStream into a DeferredFileOutputStream. 
This loop is in the method InputStreamProvider.writeTo().

If the message body is delivered as a File instead of an InputStream, the 
process is much faster, as the data transfer occurs in packages of 2048 bytes 
in a loop at ProviderHelper.writeTo(), called by FileProvider.writeTo().

Still, as the data is copied verbatim from the source into a temporary file, 
even when the input is itself a File object, the whole operation seems to be 
quite a bit of waste of valuable resources.

Is there a way to entirely avoid the creation of this quite unnecessary 
temporary file?

Alternatively, there seems to be a property for controlling the threshold for 
the creation of this temporary file, which defaults to only 1 MB, in the 
ApacheHttpClient4Executor class. What is the simplest way to tweak this 
parameter from client code?

Subject: [Resteasy-users] Slow PUT request payload processing in client 
framework

Hi,

I'm a new person on this list, and I have encountered an issue with the 
RESTEasy Client Framework.

While trying to transfer a 7.5 MB file over a simple PUT request using the 
client framework, the client freezes for minutes while very slowly building a 
temporary file, with 100% CPU utilization. RESTEasy version is 2.3.5_final.

The behaviour is reproduced on a code as simple the one below. The temporary 
file is built before even looking up the address of the server. I don't quite 
understand why a temporary file is necessary in the first place.

Can others reproduce this problem or is it unique to my circumstances?

Code:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.InputStream;

import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.PUT;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

import org.jboss.resteasy.client.ProxyFactory;
import org.junit.Test;

public class DummyTest {
      @Path("/dummy")
      interface DummyService {
            @PUT
            @Consumes("*/*")
            String process( InputStream data );
      }

      @Test
      public void test() throws FileNotFoundException {
            DummyService service = ProxyFactory.create( DummyService.class, 
"http://nonexistent.domain/rest/"; );

            service.process( new FileInputStream( "<path to a large file>" ) );
      }
}
