Bug Report: When a file is inserted into a project using file upload, it mounts temporary files, but they are not deleted/FISH-8311

[romulometaprime]

Brief Summary

I have noticed corrections made in recent years when using fileupload, Ex: #6020, #5231. However, when upgrading my project from payara 5 to payara 6 I noticed that in payara 6, temporary files are generated within payara/glassfish/domains/myDomain/generated/jsp/myapplication/. However, such files are never deleted. I use the Primefaces framework and even opened a problem with their communities, but they verified that it was an issue to be resolved by payara, as follows: Issue Primefaces #11342.

Expected Outcome

That the temporary files generated by fileupload are deleted as soon as the request is completed, avoiding undue consumption of computing resources.

Current Outcome

Whenever a file is inserted using fileupload, several temporary files are generated, but they are being accumulated in the directory: payara/glassfish/domains/myDomain/generated/jsp/myapplication/.

Hello @romulometaprime,

I have verified the issue with the reproducer provided in the PrimeFaces issue (the link here sent me to the Primefaces repository). Indeed these .tmp files do not go away, and I can understand that, for a large application, polluting the server space with all these temporary files can lead to the unnecessary use of the storage space. I have raised an internal issue with the code FISH-8311, which will be picked up and solved by the Engineering team in due course. Thank you for your bug report!

Best regards,
Felix Ifrim
