Error : Too many open files

[Vijaykumar Krishnaswamy]

Hi,
        Hi I have an application, where it is absolutely necessary to open 
multiple sockets, in the tune of 50's.But the system does not allow me to
do this and infact throws a socketexception with the error message as 
"Too many open files".
AFAIK, the OS allows(solaris, linux) an application to simultaneoulsy have 
1024 file handles.But the JVM breaks much before this ( in the 30's) .So
is there a way to increase this number.I was desperately tring to find a 
system property that limits the maximum number of open files.But was not
able to find one.Hence it would be of great help, if someone could suggest
a solution.

thanks,
vijay
