Closing JAX-RS StreamingOutput's OutputStream

Svetlin Zarev :

Should the StreamingOutput's OutputStream be closed by the implementing class?

The java-doc does not give any recommendations. I guess it just delegates to the underlying ServletOutputStream which means it should not be closed, but my guess might be wrong :) Also the javadoc makes a reference to the MessageBodyWriter interface where it's explicitly said that the output stream must not be closed.

Svetlin Zarev :

Being unable to find a definitive answer I took a look at jersey's source being the reference implementation. In Jersey the StreamingOutput is processed by a MessageBodyWriter by simply calling streamingOutput.write(os) [1] where os is the OutputStream passed to the MessageBodyWriter. That's good because its javadoc is quite clear that this OutputStream must not be closed.

To summarize: The OutputStream passed to the StreamingOutput must not be closed.
