I came here via JCR-2609, and we're seeing that issue on the IBM WAS JRE:
[{me} bin]# ./java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxa6460sr7ifix-20100220_02(SR7+IZ69890+IZ70326))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Linux amd64-64 jvmxa6460sr7-20100219_54097 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

JIT - r9_20091123_13891
GC - 20100216_AA)
JCL - 20091202_01
[ Edit: for sake of clarity, the affected application isn't JBoss CMS, as described in JCR-2609, but an application of our own making sitting on top of JackRabbit, but the stacktraces look, line-for-line, the same, and we do have multiple JackRabbit instances running on the same physical box. ]

> Key: JCR-2596
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2596
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Adrien Lamoureux
>
> running 2 or more instances of jackrabbit-standalone causes file deletions in the temporary folder used by another standalone instance. (when garbage collected)
> To reproduce, run 2 or more instances, create files in each, and then stop one of them and attempt read cached files by the other. The one that stopped will garbage collect files used by the other. This may be hard to reproduce, as it doesn't seem to be guaranteed to have a collision on file names. The problem "went away" when I forced each instance to use a different temporary folder. But this is not a permanent solution.
> Ex:
> java -Dhostname=standalonejcr -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp1 -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx500M -jar jackrabbit-standalone-2.0.0.jar -p 8000 -r jcr-repository

> Hi,
> Stefan is right, File.createTempFile() doesn't generate colliding
> files. However, there is a potential problem with the
> TransientFileFactory. Consider the following case:
> - The file "bin-1.tmp" is created (BLOBInTempFile line 51).
> - The TransientFileFactory adds a PhantomReference "A" in its queue.
> - BLOBInTempFile.delete() or dispose() is called, the file "bin-1.tmp"
> is deleted.
> - A new file is created, and also called "bin-1.tmp" is created
> (BLOBInTempFile line 51)
> (that's possible because File.createTempFile can re-use file names).
> - The TransientFileFactory adds a second PhantomReference "B" in its
> queue, pointing
> to a different file with the same name.
> - The first (only the first) BLOBInTempFile is no longer referenced.
> - The TransientFileFactory.ReaperThread gets PhantomReference "A" and
> deletes this file. But the file is still used and referenced ("B").
> I'm not sure if this is what is happening in your case, but it is a
> potential problem.
> Could you log a bug?
> There are multiple ways to solve the problem. I think the best
> solution is to not use File.createTempFile() and instead use our own
> file name factory (with a random part, and an counter part).
> Regards,
> Thomas
