FileUrlConnection can leak file descriptors ------------------------------------------- Key: JBCOMMON-82 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCOMMON-82 Project: JBoss Common Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: common-core (2.x) Environment: jdk 1.6 Reporter: Nikolay Tsankov The following code demonstrates the problem, I would suggest storing the FileInputStream on first call of getInputStream() and return it on subsequent calls : import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection; public class FileUrlConnectionBug { static File dir = new File("C:/test_file_url_connection"); public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { File tmp = makeFile("file.txt"); FileURLConnection connection = new FileURLConnection(tmp.toURI().toURL()); InputStream inputStream = connection.getInputStream(); //get the content, which is also an input stream //calling this method causes getInputStream() to be called twice, see getContent() //in java.net.URLConnection InputStream contentInputStream = (InputStream) connection.getContent(); //close both streams inputStream.close(); contentInputStream.close(); //file cannot be deleted, as there is an open file descriptor left if (!tmp.delete()) { System.err.println("Streams closed, but file cannot be deleted after getContent() is called"); } //When getContent() is not called, everything is ok, file can be deleted File tmpOk = makeFile("fileOk.txt"); FileURLConnection connectionOk = new FileURLConnection(tmpOk.toURI().toURL()); InputStream inputStreamOk = connectionOk.getInputStream(); inputStreamOk.close(); if (tmpOk.delete()) { System.out.println("File deleted ok if getContent() is not called"); } } private static File makeFile(String name) throws Exception { dir.mkdir(); File tmp = new File(dir, name); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tmp); out.write(1); out.close(); return tmp; } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
