Description

An exception during writer.close():

2010-08-31 16:13:16,812 ERROR [       ome.services.blitz.impl.ExporterI]
(l.Server-3) Error closing writer
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 0 must not be null and positive.

leads to RandomAccessOutputStream.close() not being closed (among possibly other things) which leaks file descriptors:

~/code/omero.git/dist $ lsof -p 17377 | grep export
java    17377 moore  156u     REG       14,2     21015 12127558

mero_export__5086590829463971017.ome.tiff

All close methods should guarantee that even if an exception is thrown all resources are released, since most consumers will surround close() methods as such:

try {
 writer.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
 log.warn(e);
}

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

(In [6872]) Fixed OMETiffWriter.close() so that it releases resources even if an exception is thrown, and in the process made it a bit easier to read. Closes #543.

comment:2 Changed 2010-09-13T09:57:23-05:00 by callan

(In [6920]) Merged r6743 and r6872 from Trunk. (See #543)

comment:3 Changed 2010-09-14T06:27:06-05:00 by callan

(In [6921]) A solution for file handles being left hanging around after close() on OMETiffWriter on the Beta 4.1 series. Due to the work done during 4.2 a simple backport of r6872 was not possible as some of the underlying infrastructure was not closing files at all and the code path is radically different. (See #543)

comment:4 Changed 2010-09-16T05:43:02-05:00 by callan

(In [6947]) Merging r6715 from Trunk. (See #543)
