Interface CacheStream

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable

public interface CacheStream
extends java.lang.AutoCloseable

CacheStream is derived from java.io.BufferedInputStream and java.io.BufferedOutputStream.It is designed to put/fetch BLOB using standard CacheStream interface.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	canRead()	Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading.
boolean	canSeek()	Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking.
boolean	canWrite()	Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports writing.
boolean	closed()	Gets a value indicating whether stream is closed or not.
void	flush()	When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device.
java.io.BufferedInputStream	getBufferedInputStream()	Gets the BufferedInputStream instance.
java.io.BufferedInputStream	getBufferedInputStream(int bufferSize)	Gets the BufferedInputStream of given buffer size.
java.io.BufferedOutputStream	getBufferedOutputStream()	Gets the BufferedOutputStream of given buffer size.
java.io.BufferedOutputStream	getBufferedOutputStream(int bufferSize)	Gets the BufferedOutputStream of given buffer size.
long	length()	Gets the length of the stream.
long	position()	Gets the position within current stream.
int	read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)	Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.
long	seek(long offset)	Sets the position within the current stream.
void	setLength(long value)	Sets the length of the stream.
void	write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)	Writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written.

Method Detail

length

long length()
     throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the length of the stream.

Returns:

The length of the stream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

canRead

boolean canRead()

Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading.

Returns:

True if stream supports reading otherwise false.

canSeek

boolean canSeek()

Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking.

Returns:

True if stream supports seeking otherwise false.

canWrite

boolean canWrite()

Gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports writing.

Returns:

True if stream supports writing otherwise false.

closed

boolean closed()

Gets a value indicating whether stream is closed or not.

Returns:

True if stream is closed otherwise false.

flush

void flush()

When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device.

position

long position()
       throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the position within current stream.

Returns:

The position within the current stream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

seek

long seek(long offset)
   throws NotSupportedException

Sets the position within the current stream.

Parameters:

offset - A byte offset relative to the origin parameter.

Returns:

The current position within the stream.

Throws:

NotSupportedException - If stream does not support seeking.

setLength

void setLength(long value)
        throws NotSupportedException

Sets the length of the stream.

Parameters:

value - The desired length of the current stream in bytes.

Throws:

NotSupportedException - If stream does not support both writing and seeking.

getBufferedInputStream

java.io.BufferedInputStream getBufferedInputStream(int bufferSize)
                                            throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the BufferedInputStream of given buffer size.

Parameters:

bufferSize - Buffer size in bytes.

Returns:

An instance of java.io.BufferedInputStream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getBufferedInputStream

java.io.BufferedInputStream getBufferedInputStream()
                                            throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the BufferedInputStream instance.

Returns:

An instance of java.io.BufferedInputStream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getBufferedOutputStream

java.io.BufferedOutputStream getBufferedOutputStream(int bufferSize)
                                              throws java.lang.Exception

Parameters:

bufferSize - Buffer size in bytes.

Returns:

An instance of java.io.BufferedOutputStream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getBufferedOutputStream

java.io.BufferedOutputStream getBufferedOutputStream()
                                              throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the BufferedOutputStream of given buffer size.

Returns:

An instance of java.io.BufferedOutputStream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

read

int read(byte[] buffer,
         int offset,
         int count)
  throws java.lang.Exception

Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

Parameters:

buffer - An array of bytes. When this method returns, the buffer contains the specified byte array with the values between offset and (offset + count - 1) replaced by the bytes read from the current source.

offset - The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin storing the data read from the current stream.

count - The maximum number of bytes to be read from the current stream.

Returns:

The total number of bytes read into the buffer. This can be less than the number of bytes requested if that many bytes are not currently available, or zero (0) if the end of the stream has been reached.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

write

void write(byte[] buffer,
           int offset,
           int count)
    throws java.lang.Exception

Writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written.

Parameters:

buffer - An array of bytes. This method copies count bytes from buffer to the current stream.

offset - The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin copying bytes to the current stream.

count - The number of bytes to be written to the current stream.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
