Utility methods for working with Flushable objects.

Since:1.0

Flush a Flushable, with control over whether an IOException may be thrown.

If swallowIOException is true, then we don't rethrow IOException, but merely log it.

Params:
  • flushable – the Flushable object to be flushed.
  • swallowIOException – if true, don't propagate IO exceptions thrown by the flush method
Throws:
See Also:
/** * Flush a {@link Flushable}, with control over whether an {@code IOException} may be thrown. * * <p>If {@code swallowIOException} is true, then we don't rethrow {@code IOException}, but merely * log it. * * @param flushable the {@code Flushable} object to be flushed. * @param swallowIOException if true, don't propagate IO exceptions thrown by the {@code flush} * method * @throws IOException if {@code swallowIOException} is false and {@link Flushable#flush} throws * an {@code IOException}. * @see Closeables#close */
public static void flush(Flushable flushable, boolean swallowIOException) throws IOException { try { flushable.flush(); } catch (IOException e) { if (swallowIOException) { logger.log(Level.WARNING, "IOException thrown while flushing Flushable.", e); } else { throw e; } } }
Equivalent to calling flush(flushable, true), but with no IOException in the signature.
