Class SuspendableWriter

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.io.Writer
      extended by tribble.io.SuspendableWriter
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.Appendable, SuspendableWriterI

public class SuspendableWriter
extends java.io.Writer
implements SuspendableWriterI

A character output stream that can be suspended and resumed.

This is a default implementation of a character output stream that can be suspended and resumed (see SuspendableWriterI), based on the standard Writer class. It provides the capability of suspending all output written to the stream, so that subsequent write requests perform no output. It also has the capability of resuming all output written to the stream.

Constructor Detail

SuspendableWriter

public SuspendableWriter()
Constructor.

Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21

SuspendableWriter

public SuspendableWriter(java.io.Writer out)
Constructor. Establishes the underlying output stream to which all output for this stream is written.

Parameters:
out - The underlying output stream for this stream.
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21
Method Detail

suspend

public void suspend()
Suspends subsequent output written to this output stream.

Output to this stream can be resumed by calling resume().

This method may be called multiple times without any intervening call to resume() without any ill effects.

Specified by:
suspend in interface SuspendableWriterI
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21
See Also:
resume()

resume

public void resume()
Resumes subsequent output written to this output stream.

Output to this stream can be suspended by calling suspend().

This method may be called multiple times without any previous or intervening call to suspend() without any ill effects.

Specified by:
resume in interface SuspendableWriterI
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21
See Also:
suspend()

isSuspended

public boolean isSuspended()
Determines if this output stream is suspended or not.

Specified by:
isSuspended in interface SuspendableWriterI
Returns:
True if this output stream is currently suspended, otherwise false.
Since:
1.1, 2001-09-01
See Also:
suspend()

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException
Closes this output stream.

Note that this method is required to flush and close the underlying output stream of this stream. Any writes subsequent to closing this stream should throw an IOException exception.

Specified by:
close in interface java.io.Closeable
Specified by:
close in interface SuspendableWriterI
Specified by:
close in class java.io.Writer
Throws:
java.io.IOException - Thrown if an output error occurs.
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21

flush

public void flush()
           throws java.io.IOException
Flushes any pending output to the output stream.

Specified by:
flush in interface java.io.Flushable
Specified by:
flush in class java.io.Writer
Throws:
java.io.IOException - Thrown if an output error occurs.
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21

write

public void write(char[] cbuf)
           throws java.io.IOException
Writes the contents of a character array to this output stream.

Overrides:
write in class java.io.Writer
Parameters:
cbuf - A character buffer to write.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - Thrown if an output error occurs, or if this output stream is closed.
Since:
1.1, 2001-06-21

write

public void write(char[] cbuf,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws java.io.IOException
Writes a portion of a character array to this output stream.

Specified by:
