Class StreamPipe

java.lang.Object

com.knowgate.io.StreamPipe

public class StreamPipe
extends Object

This class links input and output streams so that data taken from input stream is transfered to the output stream. This class can be used to connect standard input/output stream of Java application with output/input streams of spawned child process, so that all user's input is redirected to the child and all it's output is visible for the user.

This class starts a thread, which transfers data from input stream to output stream until End Of File is reached or IOException caused by IO error is catched.

Constructors

Constructor and Description
StreamPipe() Create synchronous stream connector. between() methods do not return until end of input stream is reached and written into output stream.
StreamPipe(boolean bSync) Create synchronous or asynchronous stream conector. between() methods do not return until end of input stream is reached and written into ouput stream.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	between(InputStream in, OutputStream out) Establish connection between input and output streams with default buffer size and no auto-flush.
void	between(InputStream in, OutputStream out, int bufferSize) Establish connection between input and output streams with specified size of buffer used for data transfer and no auto-flush.
void	between(InputStream in, OutputStream out, int bufferSize, boolean autoFlush) Establish connection between input and output streams with specified size of buffer used for data transfer.
static void	between(String sFilePath, OutputStream oOutStrm) Establish synchronous connection between a file and an output stream with specified size of buffer used for data transfer.

Constructor Detail

StreamPipe

public StreamPipe()

Create synchronous stream connector. between() methods do not return until end of input stream is reached and written into output stream.

StreamPipe

public StreamPipe(boolean bSync)

Create synchronous or asynchronous stream conector. between() methods do not return until end of input stream is reached and written into ouput stream.

Parameters:

bSync - boolean

Method Detail

between

public void between(InputStream in,
                    OutputStream out,
                    int bufferSize,
                    boolean autoFlush)
             throws IOException

Establish connection between input and output streams with specified size of buffer used for data transfer.

Parameters:

in - input stream

out - output stream

bufferSize - int size of buffer used to transfer data from the input stream to the output stream

autoFlush - if set to true OutputStream.flush() method will be called each time bufferSize bytes are written into output stream

Throws:

IOException

between

public void between(InputStream in,
                    OutputStream out,
                    int bufferSize)
             throws IOException

Establish connection between input and output streams with specified size of buffer used for data transfer and no auto-flush.

Parameters:

in - input stream

out - output stream

bufferSize - int size of buffer used to transfer data from the input stream to the output stream

Throws:

IOException

between

public void between(InputStream in,
                    OutputStream out)
             throws IOException

Establish connection between input and output streams with default buffer size and no auto-flush.

Parameters:

in - input stream

out - output stream

Throws:

IOException

between

public static void between(String sFilePath,
                           OutputStream oOutStrm)
                    throws IOException,
                           FileNotFoundException

Establish synchronous connection between a file and an output stream with specified size of buffer used for data transfer. autoFlush is set to false and buffer size is set to 8000 bytes.

Parameters:

sFilePath - input stream

oOutStrm - output stream

Throws:

IOException

FileNotFoundException
