public class ByteArrayOutputStream

extends java.io.OutputStream

This class implements an output stream in which the data is written into a byte array. The buffer automatically grows as data is written to it.

The data can be retrieved using toByteArray() and toString().

Closing a ByteArrayOutputStream has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.

This is an alternative implementation of the java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream class. The original implementation only allocates 32 bytes at the beginning. As this class is designed for heavy duty it starts at 1024 bytes. In contrast to the original it doesn't reallocate the whole memory block but allocates additional buffers. This way no buffers need to be garbage collected and the contents don't have to be copied to the new buffer. This class is designed to behave exactly like the original. The only exception is the deprecated toString(int) method that has been ignored.

Constructor Detail

ByteArrayOutputStream

public ByteArrayOutputStream()

Creates a new byte array output stream. The buffer capacity is initially 1024 bytes, though its size increases if necessary.

ByteArrayOutputStream

public ByteArrayOutputStream(int size)

Creates a new byte array output stream, with a buffer capacity of the specified size, in bytes.

Parameters:

size - the initial size.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if size is negative.

Method Detail

write

public void write(byte[] b,
                  int off,
                  int len)

See Also:

OutputStream.write(byte[], int, int)

write

public void write(int b)

Calls the write(byte[]) method.

See Also:

OutputStream.write(int)

size

public int size()

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.size()

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closing a ByteArrayOutputStream has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - in case an I/O error occurs

reset

public void reset()

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.reset()

writeTo

public void writeTo(java.io.OutputStream out)
             throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(OutputStream)

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

See Also:

ByteArrayOutputStream.toString()

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.String enc)
                          throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
