Method Detail

getContents

@Nonnull
public InputStream getContents()
                                 throws IOException

Description copied from interface: PlexusIoResource

Creates an InputStream, which may be used to read the files contents. This is useful, if the file selector comes to a decision based on the files contents. Please note that this InputStream is unbuffered. Clients should wrap this in a BufferedInputStream or attempt reading reasonably large chunks (8K+).

Throws:

IOException

getDescriptionForError

public String getDescriptionForError(URL url)

getURL

public abstract URL getURL()
                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: PlexusIoResource

Returns an URL, which may be used to reference the resource, if possible.

Returns:

An URL referencing the resource, if possible, or null. In the latter case, you are forced to use PlexusIoResource.getContents().

Throws:

IOException
