Temporary Attachments
XWiki 14.3+
An API has been provided to allow upload and manipulate attachments before actually attaching them to an XWiki Document and saving them. The idea of this API is to allow performing uploads without saving an actual document: the uploads files are bound to the user session so that whenever the sessions ends they are removed if they have not been saved yet.
The API is defined through TemporaryAttachmentSessionsManager:
