as the solution suggested in every where

i remove manually lck file and put the jta.properties file in the war class path separately and set its path manually but still get the same error.

i checked the source code and found the below lines which is throwing exception

 if ( enableRecovery ) {
             //ISSUE 10077: don't complain about lock file if no logging
            try {
                lockfilestream_ = new FileOutputStream ( lockfile_ );
                lock_ = lockfilestream_.getChannel().tryLock();
                lockfile_.deleteOnExit();
            } catch ( OverlappingFileLockException failedToGetLock ) {
                //happens on windows
                lock_ = null;
            } catch ( IOException failedToGetLock ) {
                //happens on windows
                lock_ = null;
            }
            if ( lock_ == null ) {
                 System.err.println ( "ERROR: the specified log seems to be "
                        + "in use already. Make sure that no other instance is "
                        + "running, or kill any pending process if needed." );
                throw new RuntimeException ( "Log already in use?" );
            }
        }

i have already set debugging to false in jta.properties

com.atomikos.icatch.enable_logging=false

and restart my server but still the same error.

i have no clue what to do ?

please suggest me solution .everything works fine on my local environment problem only starts on production server which is

razor expedition plan .

when i contact its support it gives me the below answer
about single/multiple instances

"Your private Tomcat is a single instance."

Thank You

I have seen this a lot. Any chance do you have multiple instance running? If so make sure you give different jta.properties to each instance using -Dcom.atomikos.icatch.file=jta1.properties and so forth and in each file you give a unique name in the property com.atomikos.icatch.tm_unique_name=tm1.
