Property.setValue(InputStream) closes stream
--------------------------------------------

         Key: JCR-293
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-293
     Project: Jackrabbit
        Type: Bug
  Components: core  
 Environment: SVN Rev. 356803
    Reporter: Felix Meschberger
    Priority: Minor


Currently the Property.setValue(InputStream) - actually all methods setting a 
property value from an InputStream - method closes the stream when it has 
completely been read. While this might be a nice-to-have in some situations, it 
is IMHO not standard behaviour for stream consumers to close the stream when 
done.

My special use case is unpacking the contents of a ZIP file (ZIPInputStream). 
After streaming the contents of the first ZIP file entry into a property, the 
ZIPInputStream is closed by Jackrabbit and the rest of the file cannot be read.

Workaround: Instead of giving the original InputStream to the method, create a 
FileInputStream wrapper overwriting the close method to do nothing.
