12. Will close one of three linked streams close them all?    coderanch.com

As far as I can tell, for all the stream classes which wrap around underlying streams, a call to close() for the outer (higher-level) stream will also close the inner (lower-level) stream. So you should be able to get away with simply calling z.close(); nothing else is needed. However, this behavior does not seem to be explicitly guaranteed by the API ...

13. Question on closing wrapped streams    coderanch.com

I've read two opposing views on what's required when closing wrapped streams, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it. One view is that each stream has to be closed explicitly, in the opposite order that they were opened. The opposing view is that closing the outer-most stream is all that's needed; it calls close() on all wrapped streams ...

31. I/O error: InputSource: Stream closed    forums.oracle.com

The parser closes the input source, having read it all the way to EOF. So there's nothing left to be read even if the parser didn't close the source. So you need a new input source.

32. Closed stream    forums.oracle.com

I also believe you have a multithreading issue. You can't use the synchronized keyword for each method (method1 and method2) since you will still have a threading problem.

35. Stream closed error    forums.oracle.com

A couple of options: 1. Make the method actually open the file, so it'll take filename/File object/whatever instead of an InputStream. This is not optimal, since it requires you to work with Files instead of plain Streams. 2. Read the data once and buffer it somewhere, only doing the reading once. If you're dealing with large amounts of data, you might ...

36. Stream closing    forums.oracle.com

I have been dealing with this all day, and have not found an answer even on these forums. In short, when calling getInputStream() on a JarEntry, it is returning null.

42. Closing an anonymous stream in method call    forums.oracle.com

The Properties.store() command does not keep a reference to the stream hence there are no references to it and hence it will be GC'ed after the method returns as that is the extent of the streams scope. As the others have said I would highly reccomend handling it explicitly, create and close that stream yourself. Then, you can be sure what ...
