Class ByteArraySource

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.bea.wli.sb.sources.ByteArraySource
All Implemented Interfaces:
Source

public class ByteArraySource
extends Object
implements Source

A byte-stream Source whose content comes from a byte array. As a byte-stream source, the serialization methods do not heed any transformation options.

Constructor Detail

ByteArraySource

public ByteArraySource(byte[] bytes)
Method Detail

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()
Returns the underlying byte-array. Note that this is not a copy! If the caller wishes to modify this byte-array, it should cease all further usage of this ByteArraySource.


getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream(TransformOptions options)
                           throws IOException,
                                  TransformException
Description copied from interface: Source
Returns streaming byte-baseed representation of the Source's content. The representation of that serialization is entirely up to the Source. Note that this method may involve an internal transformation, although it should not in any way change the underlying content.

Specified by:
getInputStream in interface Source
Parameters:
options - Options used to affect the serialization
Returns:
an InputStream for retrieving the serialized content
Throws:
IOException
TransformException

writeTo

public void writeTo(OutputStream out,
                    TransformOptions options)
             throws IOException,
                    TransformException
Description copied from interface: Source
Serializes the Source's content to a byte-based stream. The representation of that serialization is entirely up to the Source. The Source is forbidden from closing the provided OutputStream, although it is allowed to flush it. However, flushing the stream should be left to the caller, if possible.

Note that this method may involve an internal transformation, although it should not in any way change the underlying content.

Specified by:
writeTo in interface Source
Parameters:
out - the OutputStream to which serialized content will be written
options - TransformOptions used to affect the serialization
Throws:
IOException
TransformException
