> Java API docs are typically not very clear on whether a component that accepts an input or output stream will close the stream. This can easily lead to cases where streams are either prematurely closed (which is typically easy to detect) or where an unclosed stream will unnecessarily consume system resources.
> The attached patch adds a set of helper classes that allow applications to better control streams even when working with components that don't clearly define whether they close streams or not. The added classes are:
>     org.apache.commons.io.input.AutoCloseInputStream
>     org.apache.commons.io.input.ClosedInputStream
>     org.apache.commons.io.input.CloseShieldInputStream
>     org.apache.commons.io.output.ClosedOutputStream
>     org.apache.commons.io.output.CloseShieldOutputStream
> See the javadocs in the patch for more details and typical use cases. I've included "@since 1.4" tags in the javadocs in hope that this patch could be included in the next release.
