File delete problem solved? Was: Re: Any news about Bug #3465 ass igned to Mike Schachter?

[Hans-Joachim Matheus <Ha...@in-gmbh.de>]

Hi Mike,

after sitting a long time staring at my code I found the
"bug" which isn't a bug at all.

If you say "myFormFile.getInputStream()" and then try to
"myFormFile.destroy()" there must be an "inputStream.close()"
inbetween. Otherwise there is an open file descriptor on the
file and even JDK isn't able to delete it.

Maybe this should be inserted in the javadoc of "getInputStream"
method of FormFile and DiskFile !?

I hope that I helped to solve that problem a little bit...

Cheers from the lake of Constance, Germany,
Jochen
