Interface StreamResponse

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface StreamResponse

An alternate response from a component event handler method used to directly provide a stream of data to be sent to the client, rather than indicating what page to send a render redirect request to.

Method Summary

String	getContentType() Returns the content type to be reported to the client.
InputStream	getStream() Returns the stream of bytes to be sent to the client.
void	prepareResponse(Response response) Prepares the response before it is sent to the client.

Method Detail

Returns the content type to be reported to the client.

getStream

InputStream getStream()
                      throws IOException

Returns the stream of bytes to be sent to the client. The stream will be closed when the end of the stream is reached. The provided stream will be wrapped in a BufferedInputStream for efficiency.

Throws:

IOException

prepareResponse

void prepareResponse(Response response)

Prepares the response before it is sent to the client. This is the place to set any response headers (e.g. content-disposition).

Parameters:
