Files locked by JVM in pendingMDN folder - OpenAS2 v4.8.2

[claudiodegioannibme]

Hi,

I am reaching out because we are encountering a file-locking issue after upgrading our environment to OpenAS2 v4.8.2.

The Issue
Files are getting stuck in the pendingMDN directory. It appears that the JVM itself maintains an active lock on these files even after the initial processing attempt.

• Symptoms: When we try to manually delete these files from the Operating System, we receive an error stating: "File in use by OpenJDK Platform binary".
• Workaround: The files are only released and become deletable after we restart the OpenAS2 service.
• Impact: This prevents the cleanup process and eventually fills up the pending directory, requiring manual intervention.
• Self-Locking: OpenAS2's own cleanup routines are unable to move or delete the files because they are locked by the process itself.

Environment

• OpenAS2 Version: 4.8.2
• Java Version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin 21.07
• OS: windows server 2019

Has anyone else experienced this with version 4.8.2? Are there any new settings or known bugs regarding file handle management in this release?

Any suggestions or patches would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody has reported an y issues like this.
Are you seeing any WARN or ERROR level messages in the logs related to the cleanup of files?

[uhurusurfa]

Also, are you using ASYNC or SYNC MDN?

One more thing - do the files that are getting stuck have ".object" extension or no extension?

Hi,

I am adding an item; this only happens in the event of a transmission error once all retry attempts have been exhausted.

2026-05-07 11:53:34.200 [DirectoryResenderModule] ERROR org.openas2.util.AS2Util - Message abandoned after retry limit reached. [<07052026114304+0200-d2066130-6695-47ff-bade-0be9f3320a5d@ALDI_UK_A$3735776283>]

[uhurusurfa]

Ah!! I had been building a reply which asked this and only just saw this comment.
Can you confirm the question at the bottom of the comment I last posted please.

[claudiodegioannibme]

Yes i confirm the error comes in cleanup files

[uhurusurfa]

Does this happen with all files sent or only the ones that end up in the resender module (this particular example is a file that is being resent via the DirectoryResenderModule thread as indicated in the log message prefix)?

The code that controls the creation of the pending file as well as the code that does the cleanup do not open a file handle directly on the cleanup files but instead uses the Apache Commons FileUtils commands.

Apaches moveFile actuallly uses a copyfile then delete in your case. This is the Apache method:

    public static void moveFile(final File srcFile, final File destFile, final CopyOption... copyOptions) throws IOException {
        Objects.requireNonNull(destFile, "destFile");
        checkFileExists(srcFile, "srcFile");
        requireAbsent(destFile, "destFile");
        final boolean rename = srcFile.renameTo(destFile);
        if (!rename) {
            // Don't interfere with file date on move, handled by StandardCopyOption.COPY_ATTRIBUTES
            copyFile(srcFile, destFile, false, copyOptions);
            if (!srcFile.delete()) {
                deleteQuietly(destFile);
                throw new IOException("Failed to delete original file '" + srcFile + "' after copy to '" + destFile + "'");
            }
        }
    }

I have searched on this issue more generally and there do seem to be reported issues using Apache Commons FileUtils when the destination is a Windows network drive.

Can you confirm that the file actually does exist in the target network file system:

This is the extract

[uhurusurfa]

Please can you confirm that the file actually existed on the file system:
D:\OpenAS2v2\OpenAS2.\config..\data\pendingMDN3\07052026094443+0200-4bd484d4-ed52-4bb7-a453-d0dce003aa29@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227

From my perspective, this log message is the key to what the real problem is:
2026-05-07 09:45:04.301 [AS2DirectoryPollingModule] INFO org.openas2.util.AS2Util - Renamed pending info file : 07052026094443+0200-4bd484d4-ed52-4bb7-a453-d0dce003aa29@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227 :::: New name: 07052026094504+0200-aa4a6d1e-ca7a-4315-ad92-13905565e638@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227 [<07052026094504+0200-aa4a6d1e-ca7a-4315-ad92-13905565e638@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227>]

So in fact the file was not moved because it no longer existed.
I will run a test to verify this is the issue as soon as I can but please confirm what the name of the file was that was left in the directory.

There seems to be multiple possible issues going on here so lets try to narrow it down.
Please can you run a test on your system to rule out the Apache library being the problem using this test code:
CopyTest.java

Prep for the test:

• Save the CopyTest.java file to a test directory on your Windows server running OpenAS2
• Oopen a terminal (DOS window or pwershell) and change to the directory you downloaded the CopyTest.java file to

Then run these commands:

• javac -cp "D:\Tesisquare\OpenAS2\lib\commons-io-2.21.0.jar" CopyTest
• java -cp ".:D:\Tesisquare\OpenAS2\lib\commons-io-2.21.0.jar" CopyTest move "CopyTest.java" "\tesinas01\eint_stor\gruppotesi\datasite\orxt\ds_dati\culina\error_prod\CopyTest.java"

Please post the output if there are errors.

I have modified the original file to create separate files for the NIO and Apache FileUtils tests.

Please do the same steps with this file:
CopyTest.java

In your post 5 days ago the error message is:
2026-05-07 10:16:34.378 [DirectoryResenderModule] ERROR org.openas2.util.AS2Util - Error moving file to \\tesinas01\eint_stor\gruppotesi\datasite\orxt\ds_dati\culina\error_prod\ : Failed to delete original file 'D:\OpenAS2v2\OpenAS2\.\config\..\data\pendingMDN3\07052026094443+0200-4bd484d4-ed52-4bb7-a453-d0dce003aa29@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227' after copy to '\\tesinas01\eint_stor\gruppotesi\datasite\orxt\ds_dati\culina\error_prod\07052026094443+0200-4bd484d4-ed52-4bb7-a453-d0dce003aa29@ALDI_UK_A$3735739227'

Note that it is using 2 backslash characters for the destination file system: \tesinas01\eint_stor...

In your test you only used 1 backslash: \tesinas01\eint_stor...

Per Windows documentation, it is supposed to only be a single "".

I assume if you use 2 then it will fail to move the file.

Can you confirm that the configuration is correct on your OpenAS2 errordir in config.xml?

[claudiodegioannibme]

Hi Christopher,

The double backslash \ is correct since it's a UNC path. The display issue is just a Markdown error.

[uhurusurfa]

Ah ok.
So it seems that there is no issue with Apache FileUtils.

I will make an debug version that synchronizes the access to the cleanupFiles method in case this is a thread issue with a race condition associated.
I will also add a bit more logging to facilitate debugging.

[claudiodegioannibme]

Hi Christopher,

do you have an update ?

regs

[uhurusurfa]

I have a few things going on that is holding this up. Will have something by early next week.

[uhurusurfa]

Please try the attached jar which synchrniozes access to the cleanup of files and uses the try-with mechanism to ensure streams are closed.

openas2-server-4.8.3.jar.zip

Additionally, please set this attribute in your openas2.properties file if you are using it:
resend_requires_new_message_id=false

Otherwise put it in the <properties> element in the config.xml:
resend_requires_new_message_id="false"

[uhurusurfa]

NOTE: You must completely remove the old openas2 server jar from your installation otherwise it will continue to use the old one.

[claudiodegioannibme]

OK thank you i perform some test

[claudiodegioannibme]

Hi Christopher,

Were you able to reproduce the issue I reported? I would like to perform a test before deploying to production, as it is currently the only environment where the problem persists.

[uhurusurfa]

I was unable to reproduce on Linux or OSX.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the network drive though unclear why.
Testing on a machine that has the same or similar network drive for storing failures too would be the best chance of reproducing the issue..
