Interface SessionInputBuffer

All Known Implementing Classes:
SessionInputBufferImpl

public interface SessionInputBuffer
Session input buffer for non-blocking connections. This interface facilitates intermediate buffering of input data streamed from a source channel and reading buffered data to a destination, usually ByteBuffer or WritableByteChannel. This interface also provides methods for reading lines of text.

  • Method Details

    • hasData

      boolean hasData()
      Determines if the buffer contains data.
      Returns:
      true if there is data in the buffer, false otherwise.
    • length

      int length()
      Returns the length of this buffer.
      Returns:
      buffer length.
    • fill

      int fill(ReadableByteChannel src) throws IOException
      Makes an attempt to fill the buffer with data from the given ReadableByteChannel.
      Parameters:
      src - the source channel
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, possibly zero, or -1 if the channel has reached end-of-stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case of an I/O error.
    • read

      int read()
      Reads one byte from the buffer. If the buffer is empty this method can throw a runtime exception. The exact type of runtime exception thrown by this method depends on implementation.
      Returns:
      one byte
    • read

      int read(ByteBuffer dst, int maxLen)
      Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination buffer, up to the given maximum limit. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer and capacity of the destination buffer, but cannot be more than maxLen value.
      Parameters:
      dst - the destination buffer.
      maxLen - the maximum number of bytes to be read.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, possibly zero.
    • read

      int read(ByteBuffer dst)
      Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination buffer. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer and capacity of the destination buffer.
      Parameters:
      dst - the destination buffer.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, possibly zero.
    • read

      int read(WritableByteChannel dst, int maxLen) throws IOException
      Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination channel, up to the given maximum limit. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer, but cannot be more than maxLen value.
      Parameters:
      dst - the destination channel.
      maxLen - the maximum number of bytes to be read.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, possibly zero.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case of an I/O error.
    • read

      int read(WritableByteChannel dst) throws IOException
      Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination channel. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer.
      Parameters:
      dst - the destination channel.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, possibly zero.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case of an I/O error.
    • readLine

      boolean readLine(CharArrayBuffer dst, boolean endOfStream) throws CharacterCodingException
      Attempts to transfer a complete line of characters up to a line delimiter from this buffer to the destination buffer. If a complete line is available in the buffer, the sequence of chars is transferred to the destination buffer the method returns true. The line delimiter itself is discarded. If a complete line is not available in the buffer, this method returns false without transferring anything to the destination buffer. If endOfStream parameter is set to true this method assumes the end of stream has been reached and the content currently stored in the buffer should be treated as a complete line.

      The choice of a char encoding and line delimiter sequence is up to the specific implementations of this interface.

      Parameters:
      dst - the destination buffer.
      endOfStream - end of stream flag
      Returns:
      true if a sequence of chars representing a complete line has been transferred to the destination buffer, false otherwise.
      Throws:
      CharacterCodingException - in case a character encoding or decoding error occurs.
    • readLine

      String readLine(boolean endOfStream) throws CharacterCodingException
      Attempts to transfer a complete line of characters up to a line delimiter from this buffer to a newly created string. If a complete line is available in the buffer, the sequence of chars is transferred to a newly created string. The line delimiter itself is discarded. If a complete line is not available in the buffer, this method returns null. If endOfStream parameter is set to true this method assumes the end of stream has been reached and the content currently stored in the buffer should be treated as a complete line.

      The choice of a char encoding and line delimiter sequence is up to the specific implementations of this interface.

      Parameters:
      endOfStream - end of stream flag
      Returns:
      a string representing a complete line, if available. null otherwise.
      Throws:
      CharacterCodingException - in case a character encoding or decoding error occurs.
