Hello,
I have a file in
C:\tomcat\tomcat-4-1\webapps\test\WEB-INF\storage\dataindex.tbl
I am trying to delete it using new (File(filepath)).delete(); without successing. I have to manually shutdown Tomcat, and delete the file, if I didn't shutdown Tomcat, windows 2k will display "sharing violation" message.
What can I do to delete the file smoothly?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Sure sounds like some program is still using that file - you need to figure out which one.

under *nix, you probably wouldn't have this problem.
I find that once you reference a file in Tomcat, it seems to be 'locked' until Tomcat goes away (under Windows)
