Sebb commented on IO-480: ------------------------- I think a better fix might be to correct the Javadoc. > IOUtils.closeQuietly can throw NullPointerException > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-480 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-480 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Reporter: Matt Kusnierz > Original Estimate: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 10m > > The IOUtils#closeQuietly method in its javadoc suggests that ANY exceptions > will be ignored. This is not the case, as the code only catches IOExceptions. > As this example stack trace shows, it is possible for some InputStreams to > throw NullPointerExceptions during close: > java.lang.NullPointerException: null > at java.io.FilterInputStream.close(FilterInputStream.java:155) > ~[na:1.6.0_35] > at > sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection$JarURLInputStream.close(JarURLConnection.java:90) > ~[na:1.6.0_35] > at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.closeQuietly(IOUtils.java:281) > ~[commons-io-2.1.jar:2.1] > at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.closeQuietly(IOUtils.java:224) > ~[commons-io-2.1.jar:2.1] > Close quietly should do as advertised/suggested and catch all Exceptions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
