Interface StreamableResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

CompressedStreamableResource, StreamableResourceImpl

public interface StreamableResource

An object, derived from a Resource, that can be streamed (ultimately, to a client web browser). In addition, a StreamableResource may be transformed (by the stack of interceptors around StreamableResourceSource: this includes transforming a Resource (example: CoffeeScript to JavaScript compilation), as well as aggregation and compression.

5.3

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
StreamableResource	addResponseCustomizer(ResponseCustomizer customizer) Returns a new StreamableResource that includes the provided customizer.
String	getChecksum() Compute and return the checksum of the content for this asset; the checksum should be computed based on the uncompressed content.
CompressionStatus	getCompression() Indicates if the content is compressed, or compressable.
ContentType	getContentType() Returns the resource's content type.
String	getDescription() Describes the underlying Resource (or resources} for this streamable resource; expressly used as part of the object's toString().
long	getLastModified() Returns the time the resource was last modified, with accuracy to one second (so as to match the HTTP request/response date headers).
ResponseCustomizer	getResponseCustomizer() Returns the customizer, if any, for this resource.
int	getSize() The size, in bytes, of the underlying bytestream.
InputStream	openStream() Opens the content of the resource as an input stream; the caller is responsible for closing the stream after reading it.
void	streamTo(OutputStream os) Streams the resource's content to the provided stream.
StreamableResource	withContentType(ContentType newContentType) Returns a new StreamableResource instance with the new content type.

Method Detail

getDescription

String getDescription()

Describes the underlying Resource (or resources} for this streamable resource; expressly used as part of the object's toString().

getCompression

CompressionStatus getCompression()

Indicates if the content is compressed, or compressable.

getContentType

@IncompatibleChange(release="5.4",
                    details="Changed from type String to ContentType")
ContentType getContentType()

Returns the resource's content type.

getSize

int getSize()

The size, in bytes, of the underlying bytestream.

streamTo

void streamTo(OutputStream os)
              throws IOException

Streams the resource's content to the provided stream. The caller is responsible for flushing or closing the output stream.

Throws:

IOException

openStream

InputStream openStream()
                       throws IOException

Opens the content of the resource as an input stream; the caller is responsible for closing the stream after reading it.

Returns:

stream of the contents of the resource

Throws:

IOException

getLastModified

long getLastModified()

Returns the time the resource was last modified, with accuracy to one second (so as to match the HTTP request/response date headers).

getChecksum

String getChecksum()
                   throws IOException

Compute and return the checksum of the content for this asset; the checksum should be computed based on the uncompressed content.

Returns:

checksum for uncompressed content

Throws:

IOException

Since:

5.4

getResponseCustomizer

ResponseCustomizer getResponseCustomizer()

Returns the customizer, if any, for this resource. This may represent an aggregate customizer.
