[PATCH] Option to disable close warning in finalizer of COSDocument.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-507
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-507
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
Reporter: Jeremias Maerki
Fix For: 0.8.0-incubator
Attachments: COSDocumentFinalizerPatch.diff
I'm using PDFBox in a FOP plug-in to embed PDF documents. The PDF images are
cached in memory through soft references. Therefore I do not know exactly when
the COSDocument needs to be closed. I do close it in the holder's finalize()
method but the garbage collector sometimes calls the COSDocument's finalizer
before I have a chance to close it myself. With this patch I'd like to
introduce an option that lets me disable the warning and do a close() in the
finalizer in any case. I do think that the warning can be helpful for newbies
(closing early is a good idea when that's possible) but the warning to
System.err is a problem in my case.
If noone objects within 72 hours, I'm happy to apply the patch myself.
