Re: [Quickfixj-users] File Lock on FileStore impossible to free

[Steve <st...@te...>]

Would a memory store work for your testing purposes? If not, you can get
the MessageStore from the Session and cast it to a FileStore to call
closeFiles() or deleteFiles() (which closes the files first). See the
FileStoreTest for an example. The tests close and reopen the files for
each test. HTH.
