Class ChunkedFile

java.lang.Object

org.jboss.netty.handler.stream.ChunkedFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChunkedInput

public class ChunkedFile
extends Object
implements ChunkedInput

A ChunkedInput that fetches data from a file chunk by chunk.

If your operating system supports zero-copy file transfer such as sendfile(), you might want to use FileRegion instead.

Constructor Detail

ChunkedFile

public ChunkedFile(File file)
            throws IOException

Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.

Throws:

IOException

ChunkedFile

public ChunkedFile(File file,
           int chunkSize)
            throws IOException

Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.

Parameters:

chunkSize - the number of bytes to fetch on each nextChunk() call

Throws:

IOException

ChunkedFile

public ChunkedFile(RandomAccessFile file)
            throws IOException

Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.

Throws:

IOException

ChunkedFile

public ChunkedFile(RandomAccessFile file,
           int chunkSize)
            throws IOException

Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.

Parameters:

chunkSize - the number of bytes to fetch on each nextChunk() call

Throws:

IOException

ChunkedFile

public ChunkedFile(RandomAccessFile file,
           long offset,
           long length,
           int chunkSize)
            throws IOException

Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.

Parameters:

offset - the offset of the file where the transfer begins

length - the number of bytes to transfer

chunkSize - the number of bytes to fetch on each nextChunk() call

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

getStartOffset

public long getStartOffset()

Returns the offset in the file where the transfer began.

getEndOffset

public long getEndOffset()

Returns the offset in the file where the transfer will end.

getCurrentOffset

public long getCurrentOffset()

Returns the offset in the file where the transfer is happening currently.

hasNextChunk

public boolean hasNextChunk()
                     throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput

Returns true if and only if there is any data left in the stream. Please note that false does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.

Specified by:

hasNextChunk in interface ChunkedInput

Throws:

Exception

isEndOfInput

public boolean isEndOfInput()
                     throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput

Return true if and only if there is no data left in the stream and the stream has reached at its end.

Specified by:

isEndOfInput in interface ChunkedInput

Throws:

Exception

close

public void close()
           throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput

Releases the resources associated with the stream.

Specified by:

close in interface ChunkedInput

Throws:

Exception

nextChunk

public Object nextChunk()
                 throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput

Fetches a chunked data from the stream. The returned chunk is usually a ChannelBuffer, but you could extend an existing implementation to convert the ChannelBuffer into a different type that your handler or encoder understands. Once this method returns the last chunk and thus the stream has reached at its end, any subsequent ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() call must return false.

Specified by:

nextChunk in interface ChunkedInput

Returns:

the fetched chunk, which is usually ChannelBuffer. null if there is no data left in the stream. Please note that null does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.

Throws:

Exception
