> Provide a means to dispose a Message
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: MIME4J-72
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MIME4J-72
> Project: JAMES Mime4j
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Reporter: Markus Wiederkehr
> Attachments: mime4j-disposable.patch
>
>
> Currently an org.apache.james.mime4j.message.Message uses temporary files to
> store text and binary attachments of the message. Unfortunately a Message
> cannot be disposed of explicitly. Even when it eventually gets garbage
> collected the temp files continue to exist until the VM exits.
> If the VM runs for a long time and a lot of e-mails get processed this can
> become a major problem.
> For this reason I think that class Entity and interface Body should both have
> a method to dispose of the object. Multipart should dispatch a dispose-call
> to its list of body parts. A BodyPart should dispose of its body and concrete
> Body implementation such as TempFileTextBody should ultimately invoke
> delete() on the backing TempFile.
> Last but not least SimpleTempStorage$SimpleTempFile should not silently
> ignore delete-calls.
