A Proxy stream which acts as expected, that is it passes the method calls on to the proxied stream and doesn't change which methods are being called. It is an alternative base class to FilterOutputStream to increase reusability.

See the protected methods for ways in which a subclass can easily decorate a stream with custom pre-, post- or error processing functionality.

Constructs a new ProxyOutputStream.
Params:

/** * Constructs a new ProxyOutputStream. * * @param proxy the OutputStream to delegate to */

Invokes the delegate's write(int) method.

Throws:

Invokes the delegate's write(byte[]) method.
Params:
  • bts – the bytes to write
  • st – The start offset
  • end – The number of bytes to write
Throws:

/** * Invokes the delegate's <code>flush()</code> method. * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs */

Invoked by the write methods before the call is proxied. The number of bytes to be written (1 for the write(int) method, buffer length for write(byte[]), etc.) is given as an argument.

Subclasses can override this method to add common pre-processing functionality without having to override all the write methods. The default implementation does nothing.

Params:
  • n – number of bytes to be written
Throws:
Since:2.0

protected void beforeWrite(final int n) throws IOException { }
Invoked by the write methods after the proxied call has returned successfully. The number of bytes written (1 for the write(int) method, buffer length for write(byte[]), etc.) is given as an argument.

Subclasses can override this method to add common post-processing functionality without having to override all the write methods. The default implementation does nothing.

Params:

Handle any IOExceptions thrown.

This method provides a point to implement custom exception handling. The default behaviour is to re-throw the exception.

Params:
