All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable
Direct Known Subclasses:
DeferredFileOutputStream

public abstract class ThresholdingOutputStream extends OutputStream
An output stream which triggers an event when a specified number of bytes of data have been written to it. The event can be used, for example, to throw an exception if a maximum has been reached, or to switch the underlying stream type when the threshold is exceeded.

This class overrides all OutputStream methods. However, these overrides ultimately call the corresponding methods in the underlying output stream implementation.

NOTE: This implementation may trigger the event before the threshold is actually reached, since it triggers when a pending write operation would cause the threshold to be exceeded.

    • ThresholdingOutputStream

      public ThresholdingOutputStream(int threshold)
      Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold.
      Parameters:
      threshold - The number of bytes at which to trigger an event.
  • Method Details

    • write

      public void write(int b) throws IOException
      Writes the specified byte to this output stream.
      Specified by:
      write in class OutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - The byte to be written.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurs.
    • write

      public void write(byte[] b) throws IOException
      Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
      Overrides:
      write in class OutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - The array of bytes to be written.
      Throws:

      Overrides:
      write in class OutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - The byte array from which the data will be written.
      off - The start offset in the byte array.

    • flush

      public void flush() throws IOException
      Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.
      Specified by:
      flush in interface Flushable
      Overrides:
      flush in class OutputStream

    • checkThreshold

      protected void checkThreshold(int count) throws IOException

      Parameters:
      count - The number of bytes about to be written to the underlying output stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurs.
    • resetByteCount

      protected void resetByteCount()
      Resets the byteCount to zero. You can call this from thresholdReached() if you want the event to be triggered again.
    • setByteCount

      protected void setByteCount(long count)
      Sets the byteCount to count. Useful for re-opening an output stream that has previously been written to.
