Are they application created files? If so, then the application should manage the lifetime of those files itself. If they are Tomcat files, then it should clean them up when it exits, and you shouldn't need to worry about them -- although, there is always the possibility of a bug somewhere, so identifying the files being left around would be the first thing to do. deleteonexit type temporary files would exit when the JVM exits -- which won't be until Tomcat stops. > The reason I asked this question is that post us enabling this task we > could see an increase CPU usage with JVM waits on compilation happening and > we cant corelate it to this task but that was the only change before the > problem started. > JSP compilation?
