Writing XML in Java FileNotFoundException

i am facing some problem for this following codes

       try {
            DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

            //root elements
            Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();

            Element rootElement = doc.createElement("subcompany");
            doc.appendChild(rootElement);

            //id elements
            Element id = doc.createElement("id");
            id.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(subCompanyId != null ? subCompanyId : " "));
            rootElement.appendChild(id);

            TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);

            transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");

            String xmlPath = "/project/MallDirectory/mall";

            //EDITED for File creation before writing.
            boolean isFileCreated = new File(xmlPath, "subcompany.xml").createNewFile();
            System.out.println(isFileCreated);                

            StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File(xmlPath, "subcompany.xml"));

            transformer.transform(source, result);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

After i run, i get this following error:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:/project/MallDirectory/mall/subcompany.xml (No such file or directory)

It used to work on my other project, however not this time round. What exactly went wrong here ?

EDITED:

Here is the path that i am trying to write into. The file is created, but it is empty.

I managed to solve the problem.

Here is the Error:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:/project/MallDirectory/mall/subcompany.xml (No such file or directory)

I am thinking maybe the transformer is trying to write the xml to this path 'file:/project/MallDirectory/mall/subcompany.xml'. I don't know how it happened, as i have specifically set the file path '/project/MallDirectory/mall/subcompany.xml', and does not prefixed with 'file:/'.

Therefore, i somehow managed to fix it by doing this:

...

//ERROR CODE:
//StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File(xmlPath, "subcompany.xml"));
//
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File(xmlPath, "subcompany.xml").getPath());
transformer.transform(source, result);

...

If "/project" is your project name then try "./MallDirectory/mall" else try "./project/MallDirectory/mall". Please observe the string carefully it contains dot in it.

The directory path you have defined is incorrect. Take a look at the JavaDoc to determine which form of the directory path you need to get to your file location.

JavaDoc java.io.File

The number of files that can be in open state at any point of time is specific to the OS (offcourse ,Can be configured) and you have reached the upper limit of that.Look in the code base of your application ,whehter you have some code that is trying to open a file but not closing the stream after its use.Check for such codes.
