An incomplete fix for the resource leak bugs in RemoteManagerHandler.java
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JAMES-1383
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1383
             Project: JAMES Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Remote Manager
    Affects Versions: 2.3.2, 2.3.1, 2.3.0
            Reporter: Guangtai Liang
            Priority: Critical


The fix revision 107701 was aimed to remove resource leak bugs on the 
BufferedReader object "in" (created in line 227), the PrintWriter object "out " 
in the method "handleConnection"of the file 
"/james/server/trunk/src/java/org/apache/james/remotemanager/RemoteManagerHandler.java
 (now moved to 
/james/server/branches/v2.3/src/java/org/apache/james/remotemanager/RemoteManagerHandler.java)"
 , but it is incomplete.


There are some problems: 
1. when "in" isn't created successfully but the temp InputStreamReader object 
is created successfully (at line 227), the temp InputStreamReader object will 
be leaked. 
2. when "out" isn't created successfully but the temp BufferedWriter object is 
created successfully (at line 228), the temp BufferedWriter object will be 
leaked. 
3. when the temp BufferedWriter object isn't created successfully but the temp 
OutputStreamWriter object is created successfully (at line 228), the temp 
OutputStreamWriter object will be leaked. 

The best way to close such resource objects is putting such close operations 
for all resource 
objects in the finaly block of a try-catch-finally structure and then putting 
all other code in a try block.

The problem still exists in the head revision (the temp InputStreamReader 
object created at line 257 and the temp BufferedWriter object and the temp 
OutputStreamWriter object created at line 258 can be leaked). The buggy code is 
copied as bellows:

   public void handleConnection( final Socket connection )
        throws IOException {

        socket = connection;
        String remoteIP = socket.getInetAddress().getHostAddress();
        String remoteHost = socket.getInetAddress().getHostName();

        synchronized (this) {
            handlerThread = Thread.currentThread();
        }

        try {
257            in = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream(), "ASCII"), 

512);
258            out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter

(socket.getOutputStream()), 512), false);
            ......

        } catch ( final IOException e ) {
            ......
        } finally {
            resetHandler();
        }
    }
