Constructor Detail

ByteArrayOutputStream

public ByteArrayOutputStream()

Creates a new byte array output stream. The buffer capacity is initially bytes, though its size increases if necessary.

ByteArrayOutputStream

public ByteArrayOutputStream(int size)

Creates a new byte array output stream, with a buffer capacity of the specified size, in bytes.

Parameters:

size - the initial size

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if size is negative

Method Detail

write

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

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Writes the bytes to the byte array.

Specified by:

write in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Parameters:

b - the bytes to write

off - The start offset

len - The number of bytes to write

write

public void write(int b)

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Write a byte to byte array.

Specified by:

write in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Parameters:

b - the byte to write

write

public int write(InputStream in)
          throws IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Writes the entire contents of the specified input stream to this byte stream. Bytes from the input stream are read directly into the internal buffers of this streams.

Specified by:

write in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Parameters:

in - the input stream to read from

Returns:

total number of bytes read from the input stream (and written to this stream)

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs while reading the input stream

size

public int size()

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Returns the current size of the byte array.

Specified by:

size in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Returns:

the current size of the byte array

reset

public void reset()

Specified by:

reset in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.reset()

writeTo

public void writeTo(OutputStream out)
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Writes the entire contents of this byte stream to the specified output stream.

Specified by:

writeTo in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Parameters:

out - the output stream to write to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs, such as if the stream is closed

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(OutputStream)

toBufferedInputStream

public static InputStream toBufferedInputStream(InputStream input)
                                         throws IOException

Fetches entire contents of an InputStream and represent same data as result InputStream.

This method is useful where,

• Source InputStream is slow.
• It has network resources associated, so we cannot keep it open for long time.
• It has network timeout associated.

It can be used in favor of toByteArray(), since it avoids unnecessary allocation and copy of byte[].
This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedInputStream.

Parameters:

input - Stream to be fully buffered.

Returns:

A fully buffered stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

Since:

2.0

toBufferedInputStream

public static InputStream toBufferedInputStream(InputStream input,
                                                int size)
                                         throws IOException

Fetches entire contents of an InputStream and represent same data as result InputStream.

This method is useful where,

• Source InputStream is slow.
• It has network resources associated, so we cannot keep it open for long time.
• It has network timeout associated.

It can be used in favor of toByteArray(), since it avoids unnecessary allocation and copy of byte[].
This method buffers the input internally, so there is no need to use a BufferedInputStream.

Parameters:

input - Stream to be fully buffered.

size - the initial buffer size

Returns:

A fully buffered stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

Since:

2.5

toInputStream

public InputStream toInputStream()

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Gets the current contents of this byte stream as a Input Stream. The returned stream is backed by buffers of this stream, avoiding memory allocation and copy, thus saving space and time.

Specified by:

toInputStream in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Returns:

the current contents of this output stream.

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray(), AbstractByteArrayOutputStream.reset()

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Gets the current contents of this byte stream as a byte array. The result is independent of this stream.

Specified by:

toByteArray in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Returns:

the current contents of this output stream, as a byte array

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray()
