Bug 48588

Summary:	DOMConfigurator does not close input stream when configured based on URL

Description Igor Shegelman 2010-01-21 07:37:20 UTC

DOMConfigurator.doConfigure(final URL url, LoggerRepository repository) opens the configuration file using the equivalent of url.openConnection().getInputStream()).  However, that input stream is never closed.

In some situations, when DOMConfigurator.configure(URL) is invoked multiple times, it leads to 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: log4j.xml (Too many open files (errno:24))

Thanks for the report.  Fixed in rev 956283 for log4j and rev 956284 for extras.
