JAVA CODE FOR

DELETING FILES
AUTOMATICALLY
CREATE A SINGLE CALENDAR AT
THE BEGINNING
longcutoff=System.currentTimeMillis()-(30
*24*60*60*1000);

Subtract 30 days, and convert this to a Date

and then a long, to represent the cutoff
timestamp. Then just delete all files older
than that timestamp, comparing longs using
< or >.
CODE FOR DELETING FILE
publicstaticvoiddeleteFilesOlderThanNdays(intdaysBack,StringdirWay,org.apache.c
ommons.logging.Loglog){

Filedirectory=newFile(dirWay);
if(directory.exists()){

File[]listFiles=directory.listFiles();
longpurgeTime=System.currentTimeMillis()-(daysBack*24*60*60*1000);
for(FilelistFile:listFiles){
if(listFile.lastModified()<purgeTime){
if(!listFile.delete()){
System.err.println("Unabletodeletefile:"+listFile);
}
}
}
}else{
log.warn("Fileswerenotdeleted,directory"+dirWay+"does'ntexist!");
}
}
CALENDAR OBJECT
Calendarcal=Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,daysBack*
-1);
longpurgeTime=cal.getTimeInMillis();
 It is worthwhile printing out30 * 24 * 60 * 60
* 1000, which is anint. It will probably give
an overflow error and print a negative value.
You can correct that by changing it to30L *
24 * 60 * 60 * 1000.
