  • Constructor Details

    • ByteArrayDataSource

      public ByteArrayDataSource(String name, byte[] buffer)
      Constructor.
      Parameters:
      name - data source name
      buffer - containing byte content of the source

  • Method Details

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Description copied from class: DataSource
      Returns a name for this source. This name is mainly intended as a label identifying the source for use in informational messages; it is not in general intended to be used to provide an absolute reference to the source. Thus, for instance, if the source references a file, its name might be a relative pathname or simple filename, rather than its absolute pathname. To identify the source absolutely, the DataSource.getURL() method (or some suitable class-specific method) should be used. If this source has a position, it should probably form part of this name.
      Overrides:
      getName in class DataSource
      Returns:
      a name

    • getRawInputStream

      public InputStream getRawInputStream()
      Description copied from class: DataSource
      Provides a new InputStream for this data source. This method should be implemented by subclasses to provide a new InputStream giving the raw content of the source each time it is called. The general contract of this method is that each time it is called it will return a stream with the same content.
      Specified by:
      getRawInputStream in class DataSource
      Returns:
      an InputStream containing the data of this source

    • getRawLength

      public long getRawLength()
      Description copied from class: DataSource
      Returns the length in bytes of the stream returned by getRawInputStream, if known. If the length is not known then -1 should be returned. The implementation of this method in DataSource returns -1; subclasses should override it if they can determine their length.
      Overrides:
      getRawLength in class DataSource
      Returns:
      the length of the raw input stream, or -1
