Java "The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open" error?

"This is Windows platform issue with memory-mapped file, i.e. MappedByteBuffer. The Java 5.0 doc for FileChannel state that "the buffer and the mapping that it represents will remain valid until the buffer itself is garbage-collected". The error occurs when we tried to re-open the filestore and the mapped byte buffer has not been GC. Since there is no unmap() method for mapped byte buffer (see bug 4724038), we're at the mercy of the underlying operating system on when the buffer get free up. Calling System.gc() might free up the buffer but it is not guarantee. The problem doesn't occurs on Solaris; may be due to the way shared memory is implemented on Solaris. So the work-around for Windows is not to use memory-mapped file for the transaction information tables."
