Scala finally block closing/flushing resource

Question

Is there a better way to ensure resources are properly released - a better way to write the following code ?

        val out: Option[FileOutputStream] = try         


        

Answer 1

Have a look at Scala-ARM

This project aims to be the Scala Incubator project for Automatic-Resource-Management in the scala library ...

... The Scala ARM library allows users to ensure opening closing of resources within blocks of code using the "managed" method. The "managed" method essentially takes an argument of "anything that has a close or dispose method" and constructs a new ManagedResource object.
