mmhttp.protocol
Class InputStreamResponse

java.lang.Object
  mmhttp.protocol.Response
      mmhttp.protocol.InputStreamResponse

public class InputStreamResponse
extends Response

A derivative of Response that is ideal for large data sets. For example, if you have a large file that you wish to transmit, using SimpleResponse would reqire that the entire file be loaded into memory. Instead, use InputStreamResponse and the data will be loaded and and transmitted in 1000 byte segments.

Method Detail

readyToSend

public void readyToSend(ResponseSender sender)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

addSpecificHeaders

protected void addSpecificHeaders()

getContentSize

public int getContentSize()

Description copied from class: Response

A method to get the size of the response content. Abstract because, who know how the response is built?

Specified by:

getContentSize in class Response

Returns:

The number of bytes of data to be transmitted, not including protocol overhead.

setBody

public void setBody(java.io.InputStream input,
                    int size)

Sets the body of the response. There is no efficient way to count the bytes in the stream prior to sending so it neccessary to provide an accurate count of bytes here.

Parameters:

input -

size - - number of bytes in the stream

setBody

public void setBody(java.io.File file)
             throws java.lang.Exception

A shorcut to send a file. An InputStream will be created from the specified file.

Parameters:

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
