Hi,
When I m opening a large number of files (approx 2040) and i m getting the following exception.

"java.io.FileNotFoundException: d:\temp\SortComponentFile2677.sort (Too many open files)"

I want to know, whether JVM puts any limitation on the number of files that can be opened? Is it documented? if so, can we increase the number?

[Note: I m able to open more than 25000 (yes, 25K) files using a C program.]

Thanks for any help...
