Saxon API Serializer - [Saxon 9.005 Java]

Added by Anonymous over 15 years ago

Hi, I am using Saxon 9.005 API for Java embedded in my application. I use the a Serializer to output the resulting file: Serializer out = new Serializer(); Do I need to close or dispose this instance of the Serializer? After transformation, I try to open the resulting file, but I get an error that the file is being used by another application. This usually means that I have not closed or disposed of an object. Any thoughts? Thx Phil

If you supply an OutputStream or Writer as the output destination, you should close it yourself. (Saxon's general principle is that whoever creates a stream should also close it.) If you supply a File, Saxon should close the output, and I don't think it is currently doing so. I've fixed this for the 9.2 release, but I think it's probably a bit difficult/risky to patch for 9.1. In the meantime, please supply a FileOutputStream and close it yourself after use.
