	I am looking to upgrade to the latest versions of the Jersey bumdle and multipart, but I wanted to bring this up.  I know from an earlier post ( http://n2.nabble.com/Problem-saving-binary-data-using-Jersey-multipart-td2242402.html ) that jersey-multipart will store data exceeding the buffer size to file, however I would like these files cleaned up at the end of a request.
	
	
Are you calling multiPart.cleanup() after you have processed the contents?  That will cause the temporary files to be cleaned up.
And yes, it is unfortunate that the application developer has to remember to do this, but a better solution is not known at this time.
	Thoughts?
	
	Thanks,
	Andrew
