XmlStreamWriter Releasing of File Issue

Question

Hi
I am trying to use xmlStreamWriter. On my windows system, even after calling the xmlStreamWriter.close(), I am unable to open the created file d:\sample.xml in wordpad (is in use by another application and cannot be accessed), until the program is terminated. Please can you tell me how to over come this?
try {
XMLOutputFactory xmlOutputFactoryInst = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
XMLStreamWriter xmlStreamWriter = xmlOutputFactoryInst.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileWriter("d:\\sample.xml"));
xmlStreamWriter.writeStartDocument();
xmlStreamWriter.writeEndDocument();
xmlStreamWriter.flush();
xmlStreamWriter.close();
System.out.println("Try to open now, the File d:\sample.xml using wordpad...");
Thread.sleep(60000);
System.out.println("Exiting");
} catch (FactoryConfigurationError e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks my dear friend, for that reply...
Now the question is how to get the handle for the underlying fileWriter from xmlStreamWriter ? coz it was a prewritten code and my method receives only the xmlstreamwriter. I have to close and release the file in my method. Any idea on that?
public static void main(String[] args) {
      XMLOutputFactory xmlOutputFactoryInst = null;
         XMLStreamWriter xmlStreamWriter = null;
         xmlOutputFactoryInst = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
         String fileName = "d:\\samplexml";
         try {
              xmlStreamWriter =
                     xmlOutputFactoryInst
                             .createXMLStreamWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
             xmlStreamWriter.writeStartDocument("utf-8", "1.0");
             xmlStreamWriter.writeEndDocument();
             xmlStreamWriter.flush();
             xmlStreamWriter.close();
             System.out.println("Sleeping");
             Thread.sleep(60000);
             System.out.println("Exited");
         }catch (Exception e){
              e.printStackTrace();
