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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if size is negative

Method Detail

toBufferedInputStream

public static java.io.InputStream toBufferedInputStream(java.io.InputStream input)
                                                 throws java.io.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:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

Since:

2.0

toBufferedInputStream

public static java.io.InputStream toBufferedInputStream(java.io.InputStream input,
                                                        int size)
                                                 throws java.io.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:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

Since:

2.5

reset

public void reset()

Specified by:

reset in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.reset()

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

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()

toInputStream

public java.io.InputStream toInputStream()

Description copied from class: AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

Gets the current contents of this byte stream as an 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()

write

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

Specified by:

write in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

write

public int write(java.io.InputStream in)
          throws java.io.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 buffer of this stream.

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:

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

write

public void write(int b)

Specified by:

write in class AbstractByteArrayOutputStream

writeTo

public void writeTo(java.io.OutputStream out)
             throws java.io.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:

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

ByteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(OutputStream)
