org.apache.poi.util.DefaultTempFileCreationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

TempFileCreationStrategy

public class DefaultTempFileCreationStrategy
extends Object
implements TempFileCreationStrategy

Default implementation of the TempFileCreationStrategy used by TempFile: Files are collected into one directory and by default are deleted on exit from the VM. Files may be manually deleted by user prior to JVM exit. Files can be kept by defining the system property KEEP_FILES. Each file is registered for deletion with the JVM and the temporary directory is not deleted after the JVM exits. Files that are created in the poifiles directory outside the control of DefaultTempFileCreationStrategy are not deleted. See TempFileCreationStrategy for better strategies for long-running processes or limited temporary storage.
