> MAPIMessage String fileName constructor leaves file open
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2015
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.11, 1.12
> Reporter: Tim Barrett
>
> When extracting attachments from MSG resources, using MAPIMessage constructor
> with string file path of msg resource leads to an open file handle on msg fle
> that is never closed, there is no way to close this as MAPIMessage does not
> have a close method. This behaviour first manifests itself in version 1.11
> and all subsequent versions (1.12, 1.13). Use LSOF or file-leak-detector to
> reproduce this - create instance of MAPIMessage using string constructor -
> file-leak-detector will show the open file being created at that point, file
> handle is then never dropped.
> Using input stream constructor is a workaround as this allows the calling
> program to cleanly close the input stream.
