[opencms-dev] create resource with api

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Valerio, 

no, there is no full streaming support in OpenCms yet. While the low level driver layer (VfsDriver.writeContents(...)) already supports using a stream the higher levels and CmsFile rely on carrying the complete content in RAM. 
Never had any troubles with this. After all you are able to set 
maxfileuploadsize in opencms-workplace.xml. Note that even a full streaming API would not prevent end users from uploading so much that your database gets bloated. 

HTH,
