Class Base64.OutputStream

Object

OutputStream

FilterOutputStream

com.tailf.util.Base64.OutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable

Enclosing class:

Base64

public static class Base64.OutputStream
extends FilterOutputStream

A Base64.OutputStream will write data to another java.io.OutputStream, given in the constructor, and encode/decode to/from Base64 notation on the fly.

Since:

1.3

Constructor Detail

Base64.OutputStream

public Base64.OutputStream(OutputStream out)

Constructs a Base64.OutputStream in ENCODE mode.

Parameters:

out - the java.io.OutputStream to which data will be written.

Since:

1.3

Base64.OutputStream

public Base64.OutputStream(OutputStream out,
                   int options)

Constructs a Base64.OutputStream in either ENCODE or DECODE mode.

Valid options:

   ENCODE or DECODE: Encode or Decode as data is read.
   DONT_BREAK_LINES: don't break lines at 76 characters
     (only meaningful when encoding)
     Note: Technically, this makes your encoding non-compliant.
 

Example: new Base64.OutputStream( out, Base64.ENCODE )

Parameters:

out - the java.io.OutputStream to which data will be written.

options - Specified options.

Since:

1.3

Base64.ENCODE, Base64.DECODE, Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Flushes and closes (I think, in the superclass) the stream.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Overrides:

close in class FilterOutputStream

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.3

flushBase64

public void flushBase64()
                 throws IOException

Method added by PHIL. [Thanks, PHIL. -Rob] This pads the buffer without closing the stream.

Throws:

IOException

resumeEncoding

public void resumeEncoding()

Resumes encoding of the stream. May be helpful if you need to embed a piece of base640-encoded data in a stream.

Since:

1.5.1

suspendEncoding

public void suspendEncoding()
                     throws IOException

Suspends encoding of the stream. May be helpful if you need to embed a piece of base640-encoded data in a stream.

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.5.1

write

public void write(byte[] theBytes,
         int off,
         int len)
           throws IOException

Calls write(int) repeatedly until len bytes are written.

Overrides:

write in class FilterOutputStream

Parameters:

theBytes - array from which to read bytes

off - offset for array

len - max number of bytes to read into array

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.3

write

public void write(int theByte)
           throws IOException

Writes the byte to the output stream after converting to/from Base64 notation. When encoding, bytes are buffered three at a time before the output stream actually gets a write() call. When decoding, bytes are buffered four at a time.

Overrides:

write in class FilterOutputStream

Parameters:

theByte - the byte to write

Throws:

IOException

Since:

1.3
