Whilst running lots of RSS tests against Websphere, I ran into a too many files open error. From looking at the open file descriptors, it seems that the css files used in RSS feeds are never reclaimed.

      [root@CentOS52-x8632 ~]# ls -al /proc/3698/fd/ | grep css | wc -l
      721
      

      I have checked the code that reads the css resources in for RSS feeds never closes the input streams. This may have some affect on IBM's JVM cause these file descriptors to never be reclaimed?

            [CONFSERVER-16226] RSS-bug can cause Websphere to run out of file handles

            Agnes, it seems you have fixed a bug in the actual code. The issue however just deals with tests. There is a major mismatch here. I assume you forgot to update the issue, to make it something like "RSS-bug can cause Websphere to run out of file handles". Right?

            Closing the input stream seems to fix this.
