Hmm...
so what about this line of code in StandardClassLoader:
public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name) {
if (debug >= 2)
log("getResourceAsStream(" + name + ")");
InputStream stream = null;
// (0) Check for a cached copy of this resource
stream = findLoadedResource(name);
if (stream != null) {
if (debug >= 2)
log(" --> Returning stream from cache");
return (stream);
}...
Looks to me that if the resource has been loaded, then it stays loaded,
even if it's been closed, at least for the StandardClassLoader...
I've got a scenario where the Context.getResourceAsStream returns me a
duff stream following a close on the stream.
I accept that your testcase proves that there must be something else hosing
me
here but it's a wee bit frustrating.
I guess I need to find out what the heck is going on with this stream
nonsense.

Ok, but :
- SevletContext.getResourceAsStream != ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream. If
you
use the servlet context, it has nothing to do at all with any class loader.
- I modified the HelloWorldServlet from the examples webapp just to be sure,
and inserted :
byte[] b = new byte[4096];
InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream
("/servlets/index.html");
while (true) {
int n = is.read(b);
if (n == -1)
break;
System.out.println("Read1: " + n);
}
is.close();
is =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/servlets/index.html");
while (true) {
int n = is.read(b);
if (n == -1)
break;
System.out.println("Read2: " + n);
}
is.close();
The display on the standard out is :
Read1: 4096
Read1: 892
Read2: 4096
Read2: 892
So it's working fine for me.
Using getResourceAsStream on the classloader should work the same (it will
end
up using URL.openStream which will in turn call Resource.streamContent, just
like ServletContext.getResourceAsStream).
