           Summary: Stream incorrectly closed in Services - swallows
                    original Exception
           Product: Batik
           Version: 1.8
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Utilities

Hello.

The class org.apache.batik.util.Services incorrectly closes a stream, causing
in some cases a NPE that swallows the original exception. This has personally
caused quite a mess for finding an error in a custom application that triggered
this.

The culprit is this code:

                if ( br == null ){
                    try{
                        br.close();
                    } catch ( IOException ignored ){}
                    br = null;
                }

Where clearly the test should be if (br != null). Attaching the svn diff of the
patch:

                         br.close();
                     } catch ( IOException ignored ){}
