is there any way in java to check if a file is opened and closed?
i found this on web but doesnt work, seems that it is a right approach..dont know where goes wrong..
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
public class FileStatusChecking {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Get a file channel for the file
File file = new File("empty.txt");
FileChannel channel = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw").getChannel();
// Use the file channel to create a lock on the file.
// This method blocks until it can retrieve the lock.
FileLock lock = channel.lock();
// Try acquiring the lock without blocking. This method returns
// null or throws an exception if the file is already locked.
try {
lock = channel.tryLock();
System.out.println("FILE CLOSED");
} catch (OverlappingFileLockException e) {
// File is already locked in this thread or virtual machine
System.out.println("FILE OPENING");
}
// Release the lock
lock.release();
// Close the file
channel.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
