How to automatically delete temporary files using MARS

[ertank 21]

Hello,

 

MARS file serve samples are based on fixed static data (ContentTypes demo). I have several endpoints serving dynamic data in ZIP files. When upload finishes on the server side, remaining temporary files are kept on disk. This become a problem on server systems in time.

 

I would like to learn if it is possible to have MARS delete them automatically at the end of the communication.

 

I will write my own thread but asking before just in case.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ertan

Hello Ertan,

you may want to check the AfterInvoke capabilities:

 - you can define a local method in your resource class that will be called after the request has been executed, yet before connection is closed; that seems a good place to cleanup temporary files

 - there is also a global mechanism ( look for  TMARSActivation.RegisterAfterInvoke in Server.Ignition.pas in the MARSTemplate Demos folder).

 

Hope this helps, let me know if you need something more.

 

Sincerely,

Andrea

Hello Andrea,

 

I did already coded a thread for that purpose which seems to work fine for the time being.

I will also check AfterInvoke.

 

Thanks.
