Re: Problem with java Rename function in solaris platform.

I giving here the code part:
------------------------------------------
String l_stTMPCopyFile = l_stPERmtpath + "/" + l_stTMPFileNm + ".TMP";
File l_TMPFile = new File(l_stTMPCopyFile);
boolean l_bTMPCopy = l_stSrcFileNm.renameTo(l_TMPFile);
........................................................................................................................................

here actually the renameTo function failed while trying to move the
files local disk to the externally mounted disk in Solaris platform.But
in case of moving files within the local disk the function worked
properly.
Thanx for the reply...............

Rename is just that. It goes into the directory and changes the name
of the file leaving the data part alone. This gives the illusion of
moving the file to a different spot on the same drive. It is not
intended for moving files from drive to drive. A move is a copy
followed by delete.

There are several ways to move files.

1. use http://mindprod.com/products.html#FILETRANSFER to copy files
then use File.delete.

2. exec a platform specific script that does it. see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/exec.html.

3. use FileInputStreams to such files into ram and squirt them out
with FileOutputStreams. Works if files not that big.
