Interface ResourceStreamer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResourceStreamerImpl

public interface ResourceStreamer

Responsible for streaming the contents of a resource to the client. This is sometimes a simple Resource (often from the ModuleDispatcher, or more frequently an asset represented as a StreamableResource (via AssetDispatcher, AssetRequestHandler, and StreamableResourceSource). As of 5.4, the ResourceStreamer handles ETag support, as well as validation of the checksum (provided in the URL).

Since:

5.1.0.0

boolean	streamResource(Resource resource, String providedChecksum, Set<ResourceStreamer.Options> options) Streams the content of the resource to the client (or sends an alternative response such as HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_MODIFIED).

Method Detail

streamResource

boolean streamResource(Resource resource,
                     String providedChecksum,
                     Set<ResourceStreamer.Options> options)
                       throws IOException

Streams the content of the resource to the client (or sends an alternative response such as HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_MODIFIED). Encapsulates logic for compression and for caching.

Parameters:

resource - to stream

providedChecksum - checksum from URL (or null to not validate against checksum, which is normal for modules)

options - enable or disable certain features

Throws:

IOException

StreamableResourceSource

streamResource

boolean streamResource(StreamableResource resource,
                     String providedChecksum,
                     Set<ResourceStreamer.Options> options)
                       throws IOException

Streams a resource that has been assembled elsewhere. The StreamableResource may reflect either a normal or a compressed stream, depending on the type of resource and the capabilities of the client.

Parameters:

resource - content to stream

providedChecksum - checksum provided (in the URL) to validate against the StreamableResource.getChecksum() actual checksum} for the resource, may be blank to not validate against the checksum

options - enable or disable certain features

Returns:

true if the request was handled (even if sending a HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_MODIFIED response), or false if the request was not handled (because the provided checksum did not match the actual checksum).

Throws:

IOException
