Delete html file from server

Question

Hi,
I need to create a html file on a websphere server and after I work with it I need to delete the html file. I can create this file but when I'm trying to delete the it, doesn't work. If this file is not a html file it works, why?
I know, the solution could be, not to create a html file, but I need a file with htm/html extension. Does anybody know how I can solve my problem?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
try this code..
test1.jsp --->
<% java.io.FileOutputStream fo = new java.io.FileOutputStream(getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+"\\test.html");
fo.close();
fo = null;
System.gc();
%>
<%!
     public void finalize(){
          System.out.println("Deleted!!");
test2.jsp --->
<%
java.io.File file = new java.io.File(getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+"\\test.html") ;
file.delete();
file = null;
System.gc();
%>
<%!
     public void finalize(){
          System.out.println("Deleted!!");
%>
and tell me , you know anything more..
( I could think of only closing of the file, other wise , the file was not deleting untill the Garbage collector was called on the servelt)
Once the garbage collector runs and destroyes your servlet , then in the
subsequent request (code with delete) used to work..
If you know more .. Let me know
