----------------------------------------
This issue is not about a problem with a class loader, but with an unclosed
InputStream.

> We are currently using "Axis2-transport-base 1.0.0 " and the veracode
> analysis found a bug in this class "BaseUtils.java" line 246:
> Type: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
> Description:
> The application fails to release (or incorrectly releases) a system resource
> before it is made available for re-use. This
> condition often occurs with resources such as database connections or file
> handles. Most unreleased resource issues
> result in general software reliability problems, but if an attacker can
> intentionally trigger a resource leak, it may be
> possible to launch a denial of service attack by depleting the resource pool.
> Recommendations:
> When a resource is created or allocated, the developer is responsible for
> properly releasing the resource as well as
> accounting for all potential paths of expiration or invalidation. Ensure that
> all code paths properly release resources
