check if a file is OPEN status before uploading

[Vinod Kumar <vk...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
 I am uploading a file using struts (using FormFile)
but before uploading, I want to make sure that file is
not in open state. If so, I want to display message to
the user to close the file and then try to upload. I
am able to upload the file. Just wondering , how can i
check if the file is opened by the user or not. Thanks
for you help in advance.

thx
vinod

Even Javascript cannot read files on your hard-disk. Use an applet perhaps 
(if you are too paranoid)?

I know of no way you can do this, although there may
be some Javascript treachery. Your code is not being
executed on the client; it does not have access to
file system statii.
