Description

Name: nt126004			Date: 09/04/2001


java version "1.4.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77, mixed mode)


  Fix for bug 4475540 that went into 1.4 beta 2 broke our code
that tried to reuse a Deflater object in different DeflaterOutputStreams.
(DeflaterOutputStream.close now calls end() on the Deflater object that
was passed into it on the constructor.)
So it appears that you are forcing us to make a new Deflater everytime
we want to use one with DeflaterOutputStream.
If that is the case why is there Deflater.reset() or even a public Deflater
class for that matter?

WORK AROUND Name: nt126004 Date: 09/04/2001 Customer Workaround: To get our code to work under 1.4 beta 2 we had to change it to always construct a new Deflater object and pass it to each DeflaterOutputStream. ======================================================================

PUBLIC COMMENTS Now we call end() only if the Deflater was created by DeflaterOutputStream. If Deflater is provided from outside, then it is user's responsibility to call end() on it. Same is true for InflaterInputStream/Inflater.
