Lenya / Tomcat locks files
Hello community.
We are using Lenya running on Tomcat 5.5.9. Server is a Windows 2003 Server
machine.
Sometimes it happens, that the Tomcat service locks the content files
(index_??.xml) within our publication so that they cannot be deleted.
Therefor when users try to modify those contents using the lenya editor the
cannot save their changes.
As long as tomcat is running these files cannot be deleted even when I try
to do it directly on the filesystem of the server.
Does anybody have an idea what causes this problem ? Any solutions ? Please
help me.
Many thanks and kind regards
Thomas

It is unlikely to be an issue with Tomcat. Does it happen running
Lenya on Jetty?
Which version of Lenya are you running? It is possible some code
opens the file and never closes it. Can you isolate what locks the
file? Browsing to it? Opening it in an editor? The more information
we have, the easier it will be to find the bug (and the more likely
someone will look for it.)
It is also possible it is just MSWindows making life difficult. Have
you considered upgrading to a Unix-based OS?

Hi,
I am getting a similar issue (Lenya 1.2.4 on Window 2000 Server on Jetty -
default install and default publication). I am randomly not able to delete
documents. If do deactivate them, and they don't show in the Live site, but the
status in Site tab shows they are active. Subsequently, the delete option is
also inactive. I have once deleted the files and modified the xml file on the
filesystem, but am looking for a more graceful method to delete my documents.
Thanks.

I have also had this problem with running lenya with Jetty on a windows host.
It was due to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder not closing a file when it
was finished with it. The object is eventually garbage collected and the file
closed, but not soon enough as other side effects occur. In my instance I was
getting an exception when I tried to deactivate a page, the document could
not be deleted from the live tree.
I provided a patch to lenya 1.2 in October, if this is also your problem I can
forward you the patch. If it isn't your problem, the patch might give you an
idea of how to solve your problem.
