URLDataSource locks file

Hello,
there seems to be a problem with javax.activation.UrlDataSource. It locks the file when I use java.io.File.topURL() as URL. The file is locked until the JVM exits. There is no such lock with FileDataSource
I'm creating file attachements to mails. These attachements are provided externally as URLs and may be "real" URLs or File URLs.
I switched to the latest version of activation framework (1.2). The problem persists.
Thank you
Eckard

If you construct the URLDataSource without using
File.toURL,
does it make any difference?no, there is no difference. The lock does not come from File class
I think it's possible that URLDataSource is keeping
the file open,
but it should close when it's garbaged collected.I'm afraid that is not sufficient. In my tomcat environment the lock is not removed until i shutdown the server. URLDataSource should have a close() method

Lock files in Finder?

Can you lock files in your Finder? I know you can lock the entire drive, but can you lock a specific one?
This isn't in relation to locking ****, believe it or not :P

Welcome to Discussions - select the file you want, Get Info on it and click the lock at the bottom of the window.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

How do I enable opening firefox from two different computers sharing the same home directory without having to delete a lock file (linux).

I just don't want to have to delete a lock file - which has a purpose - in order to use firefox simultaneously from two locations on the network - where the home directory, i.e. .mozilla directory - is located

You need to use two separate profiles if you want to have two Firefox instances open at the same time.

ORA-27086: unable to lock file over NFS -- but it's NOT Netapp!

My 10.2 database crashed, and when it came back I got the following error:
ORA-00202: control file: '/local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR'
ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use
Linux-x86_64 Error: 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
This is a classic symptom of a Netapp problem, which likes to hold file locks open on NFS mounts. There is a standard procedure for clearing those locks; see, for instance, document 429912.1 on Metalink.
Unfortunately, my files are mounted on an Isilon, one of Netapp's twisted cousins. I can find no references to "isilon" on Metalink, and we are at a loss how to resolve this.
My sysadmin assures me that "there are no locks on the Isilon". But I know this cannot be the case, because if I do the following:
1. delete the lockfile /local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR, and then
2. move my controlfiles aside, and then copy them back into place,
then the database will mount. However, it will not open, because now all the datafiles have locks.
Is there anyone with experience in clearing NFS locks? I know this is more of a SA task than DBA, but I am sure my SA has overlooked something.
Thanks

New information:
As stated above, I moved the controlfiles aside and then copied them back into place, like this:
mv control01.ctl control01-bak.ctl
cp control01-bak.ctl control01.ctlDid that for each controlfile, and then the database mounted.
But, after rebooting the machine, we discovered that all locks were back in place-- it looks like the system is locking the files on boot-up, and not letting them go. The lock is held by PID 1, which is init.
sculkget: lock held by PID: 1This is definitely looking like a major system issue, and not a DBA issue, and hence I have little right to expect assistance in this forum. But nonetheless I lay my situation out here before you all in case someone else recognizes my problem before the server bursts into flames!
The system is CentOS 4.5-- not my choice, but that's the way it is.

The issue is fixed.
Our XML Publisher TMP is not defined, so it uses the APPLTMP used by concurrent manager. There is a folder xdofonts/<SID> in $APPLTMP. It contains the fonts used by XML publisher and on the of font file (.ttf) was 0 byte. We copied the ttf file from QA. And it started working.
Best practice is to define diffent TMP for concurrent managers and XML Publisher.

Locked file on desk top

Hi,
I had a locked file in the trash and thought i'd drag it out to the desk top and delete the other stuff in there. Well it duplicated itself and I cant get rid of it (BBEdit html file)
command i and unlock the little lock doesn't help.
Used option empty to finally empty the trash. Help says I should try this little operation:
1. Start in single-user mode; for instructions see Mac OS X: How to Start up in Single-User or Verbose Mode.
2. Type this, followed by Return: mount -uw /
3. Type this, followed by Return:
cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
4. Type this, on a single line, followed by Return:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin -bool true
5. Type this, followed by Return: sh /etc/rc
6. Wait for the on screen text to stop scrolling and then press Return
7. Type this, followed by Return:
find / -flags schg -exec chflags noschg {} \;
8. Once this is finished, type this followed by Return:
rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist
9. Type this followed by Return: reboot
I find this to be a tad on the cute side. Beside needing to type that much with no errors, how do people remember it?
Is there a place to store things so you can find them in single user mode?
Thanks,
Garrett

drag the file to the desktop. Open the Terminal app. Type the following:
sudo rm
Make sure there's a space after the rm Then drag the file in question to the Terminal window. Hit Enter. Insert your admin password at the prompt and the file is gone.

Issue with lock file in Oracle 10g app server - MDB not running

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g & MQ 6 on my laptop. I generated JNDI bindings for app server-MQ by giving ip address of my machine first. Then i changed it to "localhost" & generated new set of .bindings file.
With this new set i am able to send messages from my program to a queue. I also have an MDB which should listen to the same queue.
However now my mdb is not listening to the queue & i suspect it is due to host address change, - because each time i start the server, i see a lock file created "OracleASRouter_store.lock" - under j2ee\home\persistance. And below is the content of the same -
"O10.1.4.245:/C:/Program Files/Oracle/oc4j_extended_101330/j2ee/home/persistence/"
As per few suggestions on this site, I deleted this file & restated app server, deleted whole content of persistance folder, restarted app server. But each time i see this file created and also see the ip address in log.xml under j2ee\home\log\oc4j
Error message in this log.xml file is

Line # 127 is creating a new application object using ApplicationFactory.
ApplicationFactory aFactory =
(ApplicationFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(
FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);
application = aFactory.getApplication();
The only way that can throw a null pointer is when aFactory is NULL. I really doubt this case because, the same thing is doen in init() of FacesServlet. If it had failed there, the exception should have occured during server startup.
This leaves me more and more confused....I am desperate for some help now :((

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities. If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that, and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running. if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
good luck

Can't get Firefox to load at all after trying fixes from support web site. Have checked for lock file, processes running, reboot, reinstall. NO JOY.

I'm running Vista for operating system on an HP laptop that's about 2 years old. I've installed all current updates.
I've always used Firefox. It started crashing and creating processes but not launching. Went to support and scoped it out -- there was a lock file my profile directory. I deleted it, and Firefox started loading.
Used it a few times -- closed the app each time on exist as per suggestions on support site info. One time -- back to square one, wouldn't load, just created a process. Reboot, ending process, checking for lock file, reinstalling -- all unsucessful.

Below is from using a SIP build. It does offer G722, but it's way down on the list so it's never used...
m=audio 32678 RTP/AVP 0 8 18 102 9 116 101
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:18 G729/8000
a=fmtp:18 annexb=no
a=rtpmap:102 L16/16000
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=rtpmap:116 iLBC/8000
a=fmtp:116 mode=20
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Taking Sreekanth's suggestion to try a Skinny build, I get the following when I make a call. It offers codecs in the order I SET THEM AND ONLY THE CODECS I SET! YAY!
m=audio 19374 RTP/AVP 9 0 101
a=rtpmap:9 G722/8000
a=fmtp:9 bitrate=64
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
Using a Skinny build on the phones also solved other issues. The phones use G711 when the whole path supports G711 and G722 when the whole path supports G722. It doesn't always use G722 and rely on transcoding for the call paths that can't use it. It's fantastic.. The phones also receive the QoS tagging that I set and that seems to result in better audio quality than on the SIP builds, which never did get those settings. Finally, it even solved a slow Exchange 2013 answer issue I have been experiencing for quite some time. I practically fell out of my chair when I saw everything that was fixed just by switching...
Cisco, PLEASE FIX YOUR SIP BUILDS! It's insane how the SCCP builds work perfectly and the SIP builds don't, especially with how much these phones cost.. I was thinking of possibly acquiring some 9951s, which are SIP only. I'm a little leery about that at this point. If they have the same kinds of issues as the SIP builds for the 7975g, there's no SCCP alternative to use..
Sreekanth
Thank you for suggesting a Skinny build.. That was about the only thing I didn't try. I am happy beyond belief that this is working so well now, even though the SIP builds should be just as well developed as the SCCP ones.

Excel 2013 - Locked file when trying to save

After a user opens an excel file from a personal network share (EMC/ISILON storage) and make changes to the file, the user get a FILE LOCKED BY <USER> (Same user that is currently editing the file).
We have also had issues where a user goes to open a file and it says it is currently in use by <USER> same user trying to open the file.
Couple of notes of interest:
These files are on personal network shares, only the 1 user has access to the files
We have had the user completely reboot their machine when they try to open a file and get the file is locked message - Same message
Does not happen with any other Office 2013 application
Are there any special "quick View" features in Excel 2013 or Windows 7 that may be locking the file? I have seen reference to this in older versions of Windows, but nothing for Windows 7.
Thanks for the help.

Hi TE2011,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue only occur with the special user? Or some others had the same issue.
Did the issue only the special file?
This issue may be caused by some factors, please try the following methods and check they are helpful:
Method one:
Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items
1. Right click on the Start Button.
2. Click 'Open Windows Explorer'.
3. At the top left click Organize > Layout
4. Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.
5. On a Windows menu, click on Tools > Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to
“Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear the checkbox and then click OK.

We also try the other methods provided with the blog.
Method Two:
The issue also may be caused by the file itself, please try to recreated it and add it to trusted location.
If this issue still exists, please try to upload the screenshot about the error message. I'll appreciate for it.
Hope it's helpful.

Open jpegs from Premier CS3 in PhotoshopCS3 says locked file will not save to jpeg

When I open a jpeg or tiff, from Premiere to photoshop, and make some modifications (like simply mode to grayscale) and try to save it back to the jpeg it refuses, saying the file is locked and I should go to Explorer, properties and unlock. However the files are not locked in the properties, so my only choice is to save as another file, re-load it itno Premiere, and put it on the timeline. I used to be able to edit directly from Premier to Photoshop, and save - on CS3!
I have no clue what I might have done to cause this, except it is a fresh install of Master Suite on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate.
Any help appreciated.
Jack

I also realize that my saying, "that is the way it works for me," doesn't help you, since it doesn't work for you. Did it EVER work for you? YES IT DID, THAT IS WHAT IS PUZZLING, AND IN CS3 ALSO.
Couple of thoughts/questions:
Are you networked? YES, 2 WSIDE BY SIDE AND A THECUS RAID5 5 TERABYTE DATA BOS WHERE I KEEP MANY VIDEO AND STILLS. Are you logged in as an Administrator? I AM THE ONLY ADMINISTRATOR AND LOGGED IN AS SUCH. Are the Assets on internal (non-mapped) HDDs? IN FACT THE THECUS ACTS JUST LIKE ANOTHER INTERNAL HARD DRIVE, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE. I'M NOT MUCH OF A COMPUTER PERSON, SO NOT EVEN SURE WHAT MAPPED MEANS, BUT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO EDIT FROM PREMIERE BY SIMPLY CLICKING ON EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP, AND THE ASSETS WERE STORED ON THE THECUS, FIXES CAME BACK DIRECTLY TO PREMIERE. NOW THE SAY 'LOCKED' Any on external, or mapped-network HDDs? Are the Assets coming off of some media like CD, or DVD, and not first being transferred to internal HDDs? ALL ASSETS ARE ON INTERNAL DRIVES. I'VE TRANSFERRED SOME MEDIA TO THE SCRATCH DISC INTERNAL DRIVE AND GET THE SAME RESULT. If they originate FROM CD/DVD, are you making sure that they are not listed as Read Only, after copying? ALL I HAVE CHECKED HAVE NO CHECK ON READ ONLY. NONE ARE RECENTLY BROUGHT IN, I HAVE NEARLY 30,000 PHOTOS SEVERAL TERABYTES OF VIDEO. Windows likes to flag them that way, and it can bite you later. Anyone else on your network using these Assets? Are you using them in AE, AI, InDesign, etc., while also using them in Premiere/PS? I ONLY HAVE PREMIERE AND PHOTOSHOP OPEN, I EVEN CLOSED DOWN BRIDGE. Last, do you have Indexing turned on for any of your HDDs, as Windows loves to "lock" files, while it does its indexing. I turn this off for ALL HDDs, especially for my large externals. (Sometimes, when I move the external HDDs from workstation to workstation, XP will turn Indexing back on, and I have to disable this - happens about 10% of the time.) I HAVE RECENTLY INSTALLED COPERNIC TO DO SEARCHING, VISTA IS NOT FINDING THINGS WELL ENOUGH, IT MIGHT BE THE INDEXING, I'LL TRY THAT WHEN I GET BACK THIS AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR THE TIPS AND 20 QUESTIONS. THIS IS THE KIND OF HELP THAT THEY MEAN ABOUT RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS, THANKS

"Locking" is usually tied into permissions. That's why I ask about the networking aspects.
Wish I had a quick fix for you.

Help with delete duplicate locked files

I'm kinda new at this so forgive me if I'm a bonehead.
I made a contribute site, then wanted to disable check in
check out. All the files have duplicate locked files remaining on
server and they take eons to ftp. Is there an easy way to delete
them all? I delete on server and they mysteriously are still there
the next time I reupload files...I first thought it was a DWMX ftp
problem, but same deal with GoLive.
Yipes! Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I have very limited experience with Automator, but my guess is it's not up to the task. I'm trying to do something similar in iTunes but the actions under Finder don't seem to work properly. ( If you select 'Find Finder Items' and set the Whose field to Extension and Is Equal To and use the parameter 'mp3' it seems to work as expected. If you set the Whose field to Name and Ends with it only returns directories.) I'm thinking I need to look into actual scripting. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Mike
