Sonar violation: “Method may fail to close stream on exception”

Question

I have this method:

 private void unZipElementsTo(String inputZipFileName, String destPath) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {

        OutputStream out         


        

Answer 1

To avoid masking an exception with an exception during the close of the streams It's often recommended to "hide" any io exception in the finally.

To fix use the org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.closeQuietly(...) or guava Closeables.html#closeQuietly(java.io.Closeable) in the finally close
