Jeremias Maerki updated PDFBOX-507:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: COSDocumentFinalizerPatch.diff
> [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.
