Thanks Henry!
When you create a valid file handle, it actually does create a file which is
ready to be associted with the "OutputStream" and hence content can be
written.
For example:
//Creating File handle
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("test", ".txt"); //Here the actual file
is created in the file system
//Create DeferredFileOutputStream
DeferredFileOutputStream fos = new DeferredFileOutputStream(2048, tempFile);
//For example I write a byte[] lower than 2048 then content will stay in
memory ( for sake of the example
byte[] tempBytes = new String("TEST").getBytes();
fos.write(tempByte);
fos.flush();
fos.close()
//Now .. let us check if data is in memory
if (fos.isInMemory()) System.out.println("In memory");
//Now since file was created even though not used.. I still have to delete
this
tempFile.delete();
The second part of my question is "I would rather have file creation and
deletion does inside this class" by a method call. It should allow the
consumer to set (by method call) "location" where temp files to be created.
Hope this clearifies my question. Again, this is not a big issue but in
production systems temp file creation and deletion are crucial.
Thanks so much for your time!

new File(..) doesn't create an actual File, so I'm not sure why that's
such a bad thing?
I'm not really sure what the second half of your email means though. Can
you elaborate?
