No, you can remove these lines of code - as you mentioned ON_RESOLVE
will refresh the file-informations on each resolveFile()

No, should not be the case, as soon as you have no reference to the
object (and the JVM needs memory) it will be garbage collected.

No other guideline then before, just, you do not need to call close() to
refresh the file informations (=cacheStrategy) and - if you still would
like to do it manually there is not a method called "refresh()" on the
FileObject interface.
