Class ThresholdingOutputStream

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class ThresholdingOutputStream

extends OutputStream

An output stream which triggers an event when a specified number of bytes of data have been written to it. The event can be used, for example, to throw an exception if a maximum has been reached, or to switch the underlying stream type when the threshold is exceeded.

This class overrides all OutputStream methods. However, these overrides ultimately call the corresponding methods in the underlying output stream implementation.

NOTE: This implementation may trigger the event before the threshold is actually reached, since it triggers when a pending write operation would cause the threshold to be exceeded.

Constructor Summary

ThresholdingOutputStream(int threshold)
Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold.

Method Summary

protected void	checkThreshold(int count) Checks to see if writing the specified number of bytes would cause the configured threshold to be exceeded.
void	close() Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.
void	flush() Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.
long	getByteCount() Returns the number of bytes that have been written to this output stream.
protected abstract OutputStream	getStream() Returns the underlying output stream, to which the corresponding OutputStream methods in this class will ultimately delegate.
int	getThreshold() Returns the threshold, in bytes, at which an event will be triggered.
boolean	isThresholdExceeded() Determines whether or not the configured threshold has been exceeded for this output stream.
protected abstract void	thresholdReached() Indicates that the configured threshold has been reached, and that a subclass should take whatever action necessary on this event.
void	write(byte[] b) Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
void	write(byte[] b, int off, int len) Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.

Constructor Detail

ThresholdingOutputStream

public ThresholdingOutputStream(int threshold)

Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold.

Parameters:

threshold - The number of bytes at which to trigger an event.

Method Detail

write

public void write(int b)
           throws IOException

Writes the specified byte to this output stream.

Parameters:

b - The byte to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b)
           throws IOException

Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.

Parameters:

b - The array of bytes to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws IOException

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.

Parameters:

b - The byte array from which the data will be written.

off - The start offset in the byte array.

len - The number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

getThreshold

public int getThreshold()

Returns the threshold, in bytes, at which an event will be triggered.

Returns:

The threshold point, in bytes.

getByteCount

public long getByteCount()

Returns the number of bytes that have been written to this output stream.

Returns:

The number of bytes written.

isThresholdExceeded

public boolean isThresholdExceeded()

Determines whether or not the configured threshold has been exceeded for this output stream.

Returns:

true if the threshold has been reached; false otherwise.

checkThreshold

protected void checkThreshold(int count)
                       throws IOException

Checks to see if writing the specified number of bytes would cause the configured threshold to be exceeded. If so, triggers an event to allow a concrete implementation to take action on this.

Parameters:

count - The number of bytes about to be written to the underlying output stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

getStream

protected abstract OutputStream getStream()
                                   throws IOException

Returns the underlying output stream, to which the corresponding OutputStream methods in this class will ultimately delegate.

Returns:

The underlying output stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.

thresholdReached

protected abstract void thresholdReached()
                                  throws IOException

Indicates that the configured threshold has been reached, and that a subclass should take whatever action necessary on this event. This may include changing the underlying output stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs.
