tagsoup leaving file open on windows

[Fred Toth]

Hi,

I'm using tagsoup in my application that basically does 1) parse HTML with tag soup, 2) move files to new folder.

The app runs on linux, but I do development on windows and I've just noticed this: It appears that tagsoup is leaving the file open after the call to "parser.parse(systemid)" returns. My move fails on windows (not on linux). If I turn off the parsing, the file moves just fine.

Anybody seen this? Is there a way to make tagsoup close all resources?

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,

Yes, I am seeing this behavior. Quite annoying really. I'll post if I find a solution. So far there doesn't seem to be a way to close the file being read from the "outside".

Fred,

I'm using tagSoup 1.2.1.

There appears to be a missing close in the parse() method.

public void parse (InputSource input) throws IOException, SAXException {

setup();

Reader r = getReader(input);

theContentHandler.startDocument();

theScanner.resetDocumentLocator(input.getPublicId(), input.getSystemId());

if (theScanner instanceof Locator) {

theContentHandler.setDocumentLocator((Locator)theScanner);

}

if (!(theSchema.getURI().equals("")))

theContentHandler.startPrefixMapping(theSchema.getPrefix(),

theSchema.getURI());

theScanner.scan(r, this);

r.close();

}

I put the close is as above and everything appears to be working just as before and I can now move / delete the input file without having to first stop my program.
