Method Detail

close

public static java.io.OutputStream close(java.io.OutputStream s)

Call close on an output stream and ignore any exception.

Parameters:

s - the stream to call .close() on

Returns:

OuputStream null

close

public static java.io.InputStream close(java.io.InputStream s)

Call close on an input stream and ignore any exception.

Parameters:

s - the stream to call .close() on

Returns:

InputStream null

close

public static java.io.Writer close(java.io.Writer w)

Call close on a Writer and ignore any exception.

Parameters:

s - the Writer to call .close() on

Returns:

Writer null

close

public static java.io.Reader close(java.io.Reader r)

Call close on a Reader and ignore any exception.

Parameters:

s - the Reader to call .close() on

Returns:

Reader null

copyStream

public static long copyStream(java.io.InputStream is,
                              java.io.OutputStream os)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Copy contents of one stream onto another

Parameters:

is - input stream

os - output stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copyStream

public static long copyStream(java.io.InputStream is,
                              java.io.OutputStream os,
                              int bufferSize)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Copy contents of one stream onto another

Parameters:

is - input stream

os - output stream

bufferSize - size of buffer to use for copy Note: there are cases where InputStream.available() returns > 0 but in actual fact the stream won't be able to read anything, so we need to handle the fact that InputStream.read() may return -1

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copyStream

public static long copyStream(java.io.Reader is,
                              java.io.Writer os)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Copy contents of one stream onto another

Parameters:

is - input stream

os - output stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copyStream

public static long copyStream(java.io.Reader is,
                              java.io.Writer os,
                              int bufferSize)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Copy contents of one character stream onto another

Parameters:

is - input stream

os - output stream

bufferSize - size of buffer to use for copy Note: there are cases where InputStream.available() returns > 0 but in actual fact the stream won't be able to read anything, so we need to handle the fact that InputStream.read() may return -1

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readUTF

public static java.lang.String readUTF(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Read a UTF string as written by writeUTF. This handles the null strings

Throws:

java.io.IOException

writeUTF

public static void writeUTF(java.io.ObjectOutput out,
                            java.lang.String s)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Writes a UTF string to be read by readUTF(). This handles the null strings

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readString

public static java.lang.String readString(java.io.Reader reader)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Read a string from a reader.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

                                          java.lang.String encoding)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Read a string from an input stream using a specific encoding.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

fillBuffer

public static int fillBuffer(byte[] buffer,
                             java.io.InputStream is)
                      throws java.io.IOException
