Virus Scanning Java APIs for uploaded files

[Brian]

Has anyone worked with or know of an open-source or propertiery API
for scanning an uploaded file for virus (similar to GMails virus scan
that takes place after you upload attachments). The hope is it is
a .jar I can add to my application.

Goal:

1. Web Page to upload the file using struts file upload features.
2. Scan for Virus
3. Store in a BLOB on our database.

Thanks

Is there anything else more mature? That project looks like it just
getting off the ground.

Hi, Brian,

I'm not sure what your context is, but if you don't mind running clamav
as a daemon you can connect out to it using sockets via Java. The
protocol is fairly simple to work with. As an example, take a look at
the ClamAVScan class from the James project: http://tinyurl.com/39g2kv.

We've written our own implementation at my company and it's worked quite
well for us.

HTH,

Rob
