public static class Base64.OutputStream
extends java.io.FilterOutputStream

A Base64.OutputStream will write data to another java.io.OutputStream, given in the constructor, and encode/decode to/from Base64 notation on the fly.

Constructor Detail

Base64.OutputStream

public Base64.OutputStream(java.io.OutputStream out)
Constructs a Base64.OutputStream in ENCODE mode.

Parameters:
out - the java.io.OutputStream to which data will be written.
Since:
1.3

Base64.OutputStream

public Base64.OutputStream(java.io.OutputStream out,
                           int options)
Constructs a Base64.OutputStream in either ENCODE or DECODE mode.

Valid options:

   ENCODE or DECODE: Encode or Decode as data is read.
   DONT_BREAK_LINES: don't break lines at 76 characters
     (only meaningful when encoding)
     Note: Technically, this makes your encoding non-compliant.
 

Example: new Base64.OutputStream( out, Base64.ENCODE )

Parameters:
out - the java.io.OutputStream to which data will be written.
options - Specified options.
Since:
1.3
See Also:
Base64.ENCODE, Base64.DECODE, Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES
Method Detail

write

public void write(int theByte)
           throws java.io.IOException
Writes the byte to the output stream after converting to/from Base64 notation. When encoding, bytes are buffered three at a time before the output stream actually gets a write() call. When decoding, bytes are buffered four at a time.

Overrides:
write in class java.io.FilterOutputStream
Parameters:
theByte - the byte to write
Throws:
java.io.IOException
Since:
1.3

write

public void write(byte[] theBytes,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws java.io.IOException
Calls write(int) repeatedly until len bytes are written.

Overrides:
write in class java.io.FilterOutputStream
Parameters:
theBytes - array from which to read bytes
off - offset for array
len - max number of bytes to read into array
Throws:
java.io.IOException
Since:
1.3

flushBase64

public void flushBase64()
                 throws java.io.IOException
Method added by PHIL. [Thanks, PHIL. -Rob] This pads the buffer without closing the stream.

Throws:
java.io.IOException

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException
Flushes and closes (I think, in the superclass) the stream.

Specified by:
close in interface java.io.Closeable
Overrides:
close in class java.io.FilterOutputStream
Throws:
java.io.IOException
Since:
1.3

suspendEncoding

public void suspendEncoding()
                     throws java.io.IOException
Suspends encoding of the stream. May be helpful if you need to embed a piece of base640-encoded data in a stream.

Throws:
java.io.IOException
Since:
1.5.1

resumeEncoding

public void resumeEncoding()
Resumes encoding of the stream. May be helpful if you need to embed a piece of base640-encoded data in a stream.

Since:
1.5.1
