If you can force the temporary filename to be a unique mapping of the filename that you're writing, then just detecting its existence will tell you that another user is already writing to the same file. This gives you a nice "optimistic locking" that will be sufficient in most cases I think. Maybe the File.createTempFile method will help you here. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
