How to use temporary attachment without converting it to real attachment?

[Andreas Ebert]

In JIRA 6.2 (and below) and its file-based attachment API it was possible to:

1. Define a dialog, where users can upload temporary attachments.
2. In the corresponding Action, directly use those temporary attachments (in my case: for sending mails).
   • Using TemporaryAttachment.getFile()
3. Disgard the temporary attachments.

In JIRA 6.4 the file-based API is deprecated, in favor of the new stream-based API, and it appears that my previous approach is not possible anymore, because the new TemporaryWebAttachment has no getFile(), getStream() or something similar. In fact, the only way I found to get to the attachment data, is by first converting it to a real attachment and then using AttachmentManager.streamAttachmentContent() to read the data. But that is not what I want. I don't want to convert to a real attachment first. I only need the temporary attachment for the duration of my Action.

So my question:
In JIRA 6.4, how to read temporary attachments without converting them to real attachments? Is it possible?

Okay!

If I find out some information, I'll inform you!

[Andreas Ebert]

No, unfortunately not. My workaround – as described my question – is to first convert the temporary attachment into a real attachment.
