At some point, depending on the operations performed by the 'File' instance, there may be a file descriptor involved, and then the 'File' instance certainly does use it, at least indirectly via JVM system calls that proxy to OS system calls.

From a Java perspective you should look for unclosed I/O streams/channels and packratted 'File' instances rather than file descriptors.

Of course I'm shooting in the dark since you've said absolutely nothing about your application, much less provided an http://sscce.org/.
