Synopsis: 
file descriptor leak in AdaptiveClassLoader

Description:
The getResource method in AdaptiveClassLoader leaks file 
descriptors.  When looping through the elements in the 
repository list, for each one that is a jar file, it opens
a new ZipFile object to see if the requested resource is
located within that jar.  This object is never closed and
the file handle doesn't seem to get closed during object
finalization.  

getResource is called every time a <jsp:useBean/> element
is evaluated, Beans.instantiate is called or the application
calls a variant of getResource from either a Class object
loaded by this class loader or from the class loader itself.
