Re: [xwiki-users] Yet another thread on file-based attachments

I'm testing WebDAV now and getting lots of exceptions when copying photos from PhotoAlbum. There are entries like this one: Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Web server isn't stable in these moments. javaw.exe consumes about 600Mb of memory. Although I can adjust it to use 3Gb of memory, this seems to be a wrong way. Storing big attachments in a database is a wrong way. Handling them in-memory is a wrong way. They should be handled in another manner. Some kind of event-based servlet streams attachments block by block without putting any whole octet stream in memory (it seems that stroring attachments in database implies this as a consequence). No matter what I (and you) do, wrong way will constantly show its wrongness and limitations. X-Wiki is far from being perfect yet indeed it's outstanding. I don't regret I have spent some time to get it working. I hope, current way of handling attachments will be obsoleted soon. -- If you want to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom
