Document merger API - Applying license taking long time in Java

GroupDocs.Merger Product Family
1

We have a use case that we have to bring up a java application every time we have to process a file. That means we have to apply for a license every time as well. But we have found that applying Group docs merger license takes a long time.

I have attached the machine specs here and it’s quite a decent one. Usually, we will have lower spec machines where it will be running.

Please find the logs below:

Code to apply lic:

private String getLicense(String type){

log.debug(“Fetching license -> {} …”, type);
File temp = File.createTempFile(UUID.randomUUID().toString(), “.lic”);
temp.deleteOnExit();
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
String lic = encryptionService.getDecryptValue(licenseValue, null);
out.write(lic);
out.close();
log.debug(“Done.”);
return temp.getAbsolutePath();

}

License license = new License();
license.setLicense(getLicense(groupDocsMergerLic, “GroupDocs”));

Please advise on how to reduce this time. We can’t afford to spend this long on just license processing.

Setting license time cannot be decreased for now. Usually, the license is setup once for all the actions. Please add public static bool isLicensed() property for the corresponding class and set it up to true after licenses are setup and use it later:

if (!isLicensed()) {
    License license = new License();
    license.setLicense(getLicense(groupDocsMergerLic, “GroupDocs”));
    isLicensed() = true;
}
