Java File lock mechanism

[vishrut_n_shah]

Hello,

I have used RandomAccessFile J2SE 6 class to implement lock mechanism on .xml file.

I want a mechanism that .xml file should be locked for "rw" [read write] but it should be opened to "r" [read] mode.

objFileChannel.tryLock(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE, true); This function locks the .xml file with sharing allowed. But it opens the .xml in all the cases even if i want to open .xml in read write mode or it's only read mode.

What should i use for sharing the lock mechanism for that file?

Thanks in advance.

not sure might want to poke around int he api and just read stuff maybe you will stumble on the solution.
