Method Detail

copy

public static void copy(InputStream inputStream,
                        OutputStream outputStream)
                 throws IOException
Copies an input stream to an output stream. When the reading is done, the input stream is closed.

Parameters:
inputStream - The input stream.
outputStream - The output stream.
Throws:
IOException

copy

public static void copy(InputStream inputStream,
                        RandomAccessFile randomAccessFile)
                 throws IOException
Copies an input stream to a random access file. When the reading is done, the input stream is closed.

Parameters:
inputStream - The input stream.
randomAccessFile - The random access file.
Throws:
IOException

copy

public static void copy(Reader reader,
                        Writer writer)
                 throws IOException
Copies characters from a reader to a writer. When the reading is done, the reader is closed.

Parameters:
reader - The reader.
writer - The writer.
Throws:
IOException

delete

public static boolean delete(File file)
Deletes an individual file or an empty directory.

Parameters:
file - The individual file or directory to delete.
Returns:
True if the deletion was successful.

delete

public static boolean delete(File file,
                             boolean recursive)
Deletes an individual file or a directory. A recursive deletion can be forced as well. Under Windows operating systems, the garbage collector will be invoked once before attempting to delete in order to prevent locking issues.

Parameters:
file - The individual file or directory to delete.
recursive - Indicates if directory with content should be deleted recursively as well.
Returns:
True if the deletion was successful or if the file or directory didn't exist.

delete

public static boolean delete(File file,
                             boolean recursive,
                             boolean garbageCollect)
Deletes an individual file or a directory. A recursive deletion can be forced as well. The garbage collector can be run once before attempting to delete, to workaround lock issues under Windows operating systems.

Parameters:
file - The individual file or directory to delete.
recursive - Indicates if directory with content should be deleted recursively as well.
garbageCollect - Indicates if the garbage collector should be run.
Returns:
True if the deletion was successful or if the file or directory didn't exist.

exhaust

public static long exhaust(InputStream input)
                    throws IOException
Exhaust the content of the representation by reading it and silently discarding anything read.

Parameters:
input - The input stream to exhaust.
Returns:
The number of bytes consumed or -1 if unknown.
Throws:
IOException

getAvailableSize

public static long getAvailableSize(Representation representation)
Returns the size effectively available. This returns the same value as Representation.getSize() if no range is defined, otherwise it returns the size of the range using Range.getSize().

Parameters:
representation - The representation to evaluate.
Returns:
The available size.

getReader

public static Reader getReader(InputStream stream,
                               CharacterSet characterSet)
                        throws UnsupportedEncodingException
Returns a reader from an input stream and a character set.

Parameters:
stream - The input stream.
characterSet - The character set. May be null.
Returns:
The equivalent reader.
Throws:
UnsupportedEncodingException - if a character set is given, but not supported

getReader

public static Reader getReader(WriterRepresentation representation)
                        throws IOException
Returns a reader from a writer representation.Internally, it uses a writer thread and a pipe stream.

representation - The representation to read from.
Returns:
The character reader.
Throws:
IOException

getStream

public static OutputStream getStream(Writer writer,
                                     CharacterSet characterSet)

characterSet - The stream character set.
Returns:
An input stream based on a given character reader.

getStream

public static InputStream getStream(Representation representation)
Returns an input stream based on the given representation's content and its write(OutputStream) method. Internally, it uses a writer thread and a pipe stream.

A stream with the representation's content.

getText

public static String getText(Representation representation)
                      throws IOException
