--------------------------------------

             Summary: ExtensionValidator does not close inputstream
                 Key: JBWEB-255
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-255
             Project: JBoss Web
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: JBossWeb-2.1.11.GA
            Reporter: James Livingston
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat


ExtensionValidator.validateExtension() closes the InputStream for the web application's manifest, but does not do so for the manifests from jar files. This results in file descriptors being left open until the next garbage collection finalises them.

While deploying applications with many jar files, this can result in errors because the file descriptor limit has been reached.


This is already fixed in Tomcat 7, and backporting the patch at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc7.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/util/ExtensionValidator.java?r1=881599&r2=883562 is simple.
