Constructor Detail

ResourceDataSource

public ResourceDataSource(java.lang.String resource,
                          int introLimit)

Constructs a new ResourceDataSource from a resource name and given size of intro buffer. Note that like ClassLoader.getResource(java.lang.String) but unlike Class.getResource(java.lang.String) the resource name is assumed absolute, and should '/'.

Parameters:

resource - the path of the resource represented by this DataSource

introLimit - the intro buffer size

ResourceDataSource

public ResourceDataSource(java.lang.String resource)

Constructs a new ResourceDataSource from a resource name with a default size of intro buffer. Note that like ClassLoader.getResource(java.lang.String) but unlike Class.getResource(java.lang.String) the resource name is assumed absolute, and should '/'.

Parameters:

resource - the path of the resource represented by this DataSource

Method Detail

getRawInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getRawInputStream()
                                      throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: DataSource

Provides a new InputStream for this data source. This method should be implemented by subclasses to provide a new InputStream giving the raw content of the source each time it is called. The general contract of this method is that each time it is called it will return a stream with the same content.

Specified by:

getRawInputStream in class DataSource

Returns:

an InputStream containing the data of this source

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getURL

public java.net.URL getURL()

Description copied from class: DataSource

Returns a URL which corresponds to this data source, if one exists. An URL.openConnection() method call on the URL returned by this method should provide a stream with the same content as the DataSource.getRawInputStream() method of this data source. If no such URL exists or is known, then null should be returned.

If this source has a non-null position value, it will be appended to the main part of the URL after a '#' character (as the URL's ref part).

Overrides:

getURL in class DataSource

Returns:

a URL corresponding to this source, or null

exists

public boolean exists()

Indicates whether this resource can be located by the class loader or not.

Returns:

true iff the getRawInputStream method will return an input stream

getClassLoader

public java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Returns the ClassLoader which is used for resource resolution.

Returns:

the class loader

setClassLoader

public void setClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)

Sets the ClassLoader which is used for resource resolution.

Parameters:

classLoader - the class loader
