How to setup temp directory for org.jvnet.mimepull?

Question

I am using org.jvnet.mimepull to allow my Java app to serve the download of files. It all works perfectly until I try to download large files >4GB. Then, I got the error of java.io.IOException: No space left on device. Checked the server and I could see that the /tmp filesystem(4GB size) is completely full with files MIME*.tmp . As far as I understand, org.jvnet.mimepull is using temp dir as a staging during download.

The question is: how to configure org.jvnet.mimepull to use a custom temp directory instead of /tmp?

The full error stack is:

Found it. The location of temp directory is controlled by java.io.tmpdir system property. So, just add to JVM parameters:

-Djava.io.tmpdir=/path/to/tmpdir
