In general, in this type of case, I recommend doing something like: (pseudo
code)
return new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(tempFile)) {
public void writeTo(OutputStream out) {
super.writeTo(out);
tempFile.delete();
}
};
or similar. Basically, when the datahandler is done being written out,
delete the file.
