file using File.createTempFile(...), Tomcat puts the file in its "temp" directory, which is fine. However,
if I call deleteOnExit() on the file, the file doesn't get deleted when Tomcat is shut down. This happens
even when the temporary is never opened.
I am using Tomcat 5.5 on WindowsXP. Tomcat is installed as a "service", and I am stopped and restarting it using the "monitor" program. I also tried rebooting my machine (to make sure Java had exited) but the files were still there.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround?
Thanks, --Paul Lynch
p.s. Here's my test servlet's code:
// TempFileTest
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.http.*;
/**
* This class is a servlet used to test the problem with File.deleteOnExit()
*/
public class TempFileTest extends HttpServlet {
/**
* This method should be called automatically when the servlet is
* initialized.
*/
public void init() {
try {
File f = File.createTempFile("TEMP_FILE_TEST", null);
f.deleteOnExit();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("TempFileTest could not create the temp file!");
e.printStackTrace();
}
} // init
} // TempFileTest
