Java IO : Opened Files

Posted: Mar 3, 2004 4:21 AM

I have to create a number of files from my java program and make sure that nobody can delete them from disk. So I don't close my File Stream and keep it open till my program exits. The problem I am facing is that I am getting exception after creating 2035 files. Is this an Operating System limitation because when i keep closing the file streams then i don't face this problem? My requiremnet is that I may keep thousands of files open for sometime. Could you please help?

Hi,

It is my understanding,

File open means, there is a refrence in the memory, that stack memory..here is how it works.

when you call a function open() it put the Push() the ref in the memory untill it closes it will not pop() it ,
so when you a more number the Stack memory will be not suffeciant. increas your stack memory from Heap memory..

Use the setReadOnly() on each of your files and then close them.
