      • StreamContentItem

        public StreamContentItem​(String name,
                                 ContentLocation parent,
                                 WrappedInputStream inputStream,
                                 WrappedOutputStream outputStream)
        Creates a new stream-content item. The item will have the given name and parent and will wrap around the provided streams.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the content item.
        parent - the parent location.
        inputStream - the (optional) input stream.
        outputStream - the (optional) output stream.
    • Method Detail

      • isReadable

        public boolean isReadable()
        Checks, whether the content item is readable. A content item that is not readable will never return a valid inputstream and any call to getInputStream is bound to fail.
        Specified by:
        isReadable in interface ContentItem
        Returns:
        true, if the content item is readable, false otherwise.
      • isWriteable

        public boolean isWriteable()
        Checks, whether the content item is writable. A content item that is not writable will never return a valid outputstream and any call to getOutputStream is bound to fail.
        Specified by:
        isWriteable in interface ContentItem
        Returns:
        true, if the content item is writeable, false otherwise.
      • getMimeType

        public String getMimeType()
                           throws ContentIOException
        Returns the mime type for the content entity. If the repository does not store mimetypes, this call usually uses the repositories MimeRegistry to resolve the mimetype.
        Specified by:
        getMimeType in interface ContentItem
        Returns:
        the mime type.
        Throws:
        ContentIOException - if an error occured.
      • getOutputStream

        public OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws ContentIOException,
                                            IOException
        Tries to open and return a output stream for writing into the content item. This call will fail if the item is not writeable. Whether opening multiple output streams at the same time is possible is implementation dependent, but it is generally not recommended to try this.

        Having both an input and output stream open at the same time is not guaranteed to work. Generally if you need to append data, first open the inputstream and copy the content to a temporary location and then write the content along with the appended content to the new output stream.

        Specified by:
        getOutputStream in interface ContentItem
        Returns:
        the output stream for writing the item.
        Throws:
        ContentIOException - if an repository related error prevents the creation of the output stream.
        IOException - if an IO error occurs.
      • getInputStream

        public InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws ContentIOException,
                                          IOException
        Tries to open and return a input stream for reading from the content item. This call will fail if the item is not readable. Whether opening multiple input streams at the same time is possible is implementation dependent.

        Having both an input and output stream open at the same time is not guaranteed to work. Generally if you need to append data, first open the inputstream and copy the content to a temporary location and then write the content along with the appended content to the new output stream.

        Specified by:
        getInputStream in interface ContentItem
        Returns:
        the input stream for reading from the item.
        Throws:
        ContentIOException - if an repository related error prevents the creation of the input stream.
        IOException - if an IO error occurs.
      • getName

        public String getName()
        Returns the name of the entry.
        Specified by:
        getName in interface ContentEntity
        Returns:
        the name, never null.
      • getContentId

        public Object getContentId()
        Returns a unique identifier. This can be canonical filename or a database key. It must be guaranteed that within the same repository the key will be unique.
        Specified by:
        getContentId in interface ContentEntity
        Returns:
        the unique content ID.
      • getAttribute

        public Object getAttribute​(String domain,
                                   String key)
        Stream-Repositories do not support attributes.
        Specified by:
        getAttribute in interface ContentEntity
        Parameters:
        domain - the attribute domain.
        key - the name of the attribute.
        Returns:
        always null.
      • setAttribute

        public boolean setAttribute​(String domain,
                                    String key,
                                    Object value)

        Specified by:
        setAttribute in interface ContentEntity
        Parameters:
        domain - the attribute domain.
        key - the attribute name
        value - the new attribute value.
        Returns:
        always false.
      • getParent

        public ContentLocation getParent()
        Returns a reference to the parent location. If this entity represents the root directory, this method will return null.
        Specified by:
        getParent in interface ContentEntity
        Returns:
        the parent or null, if this is the root-directory.

        public boolean delete()
        Stream-repositories do not support the deletion of entries.
        Specified by:
        delete in interface ContentEntity
        Returns:
        always false.
