All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Readable

public abstract class ProxyReader
extends FilterReader

A Proxy stream which acts as expected, that is it passes the method calls on to the proxied stream and doesn't change which methods are being called.

It is an alternative base class to FilterReader to increase reusability, because FilterReader changes the methods being called, such as read(char[]) to read(char[], int, int).
