RFR 4358774: Add null InputStream and OutputStream

[Jason Mehrens]

Brian,

For nullInputStream would it make any sense to use the ByteArrayInputStream with a (private static) empty byte array?  Maybe 'return new ByteArrayInputStream("".getBytes());'?  One side effect is that mark support returns true.

Does it make sense to follow the advice in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6533165 with regards to streams being closed?

Thanks,

Jason

Add nullStream() method to each of InputStream and OutputStream.

Thanks,
