How to delete a file after XML Parsing has thrown an error in java?

I have a piece of code that g开发者_运维百科oes like this

File file = null;
try {

file = new file (filePath);
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(file);
// Do Stuff

} finally {

        if ( file.exists() ){
            file.delete();
        }
}

However if there is an error in the xml parsing, the file does not get deleted. Is there a way to fix this to ensure the file gets deleted?

I bet this is under Windows.

Under Windows you cannot delete an open file, and db.parse() opens the file for reading. Reconsider if you can pass in an InputStream which you are responsible for closing, and then you can delete the file.
