Unable to delete file created in one Tasklet

[savvas]

Hello,

we are facing a what seems to be file lock issue:
We have defined a Tasklet where we create a new file by copying another one from a remote location(apologies for the hypothetical tags but you get the point.. ):

<step1>
<tasklet>
   public RepeatStatus execute(StepContribution stepContribution, ChunkContext chunkContext){
  ................
  FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory(remoteZipFile, zipFileLocalCopyDirectory, true);
  ................
}
</tasklet>
</step1>

and then a final Tasklet which attempts to delete that file:

<step2>
<tasklet>
  .................
  FileUtils.cleanDirectory(zipFileLocalCopyDirectoryProvider.getDirectory());
  .................
</tasklet2>
<step2>

that call fails because Tasklet from step1 seems to still be holding a lock on that file..

Any ideas/input on why this is happening and how we can solve the problem much appreciated. We are using the commons FileUtils is that plays any role.

Regards,
Savvas

..never mind..our bad..the lock was being acquired (and never released..) elsewhere..
