File is getting locked after renameTo method (JAVA, Windows, JDK6)
I am renaming the extension of the file from .tmp to .xml, but when I try to access the same file from other path, it gives me an exception that file is locked.
String filename= "TemporaryFile.tmp";
File file = new File(filename);
String filename1 = file.getPath().replace(".tmp",".xml");
File file1 = new File(filename1);
if(file.renameTo(file1)){
System.out.println("File is successfully renamed");
}
Here, the file gets successfully renamed but is locked by some process and couldn't be accessed for further processing.
I have tried using file.canWrite(); which returns false, and even tried modifying its state with setReadable() and setExecutable() methods, but nothing works. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Please note I can't use any other JDK.
