Let's say I have a Win32 executable file that generates xml file somewhere on
the local disk. Now I would like to serialize contents of that file to the
cocoon user, which I wanted to perform like this:

<map:match pattern="test">
    <map:act type="serverpages" src="scratchpad/file-create.xsp">
        <map:generate src="scratchpad/{filename}"/>
        <map:act type="serverpages" src="scratchpad/file-delete.xsp">
            <map:serialize/>
        </map:act>
    </map:act>
</map:match>

This all means:
1. perform file-create action calling Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). This
generates a file somewhere (let's assume I know the file name - I pass the
name as the exec parameter )
2. I generate the web content from the file that was generated 
3. I delete the file
4. I serialize the content 

What happens? Cocoon reports that the file no loner exists so it gets deleted
before the content get generated. Why is that ? I tried to move the
file-delete action after serialization but there nothing happens - the file
still remains on disk.  

I know that this is a crazy idea but that is the only way to have an access to
another application so there is nothing I can change.

__The only thing I need to know is how to delete a file right after its
cotents have been sent to the client.__`
