In my opinion the only benefit is that i can log the error and close my input stream i am reading from.
The behavior, according to error handling, when setting the InputStream directly is just the same.

Not an answer to your question, but I wonder what the benefit of using StreamingOutput like this is compared to just set the InputStream as entity in the response?
