It sounds very reasonable when you put it that way ;-) I was thinking along the lines of when flush() fails - clearly you can't flush a stream when it is closed - then it should throw an IOException. =
Either way - I will sleep some more on my code and work around this in JDK8. Thank you and Alan for all the good advices! Regards, Alex.
