HttpEntityWrapper Class Reference

Base class for wrapping entities. More...

Inheritance diagram for HttpEntityWrapper:
HttpEntity BasicManagedEntity BufferedHttpEntity

Description

Keeps a wrappedEntity and delegates all calls to it. Implementations of wrapping entities can derive from this class and need to override only those methods that should not be delegated to the wrapped entity.

◆ HttpEntityWrapper()

Parameters
wrappedthe entity to wrap

Member Function Documentation

◆ isRepeatable()

boolean isRepeatable ( )

A repeatable entity's getContent() and writeTo(OutputStream) methods can be called more than once whereas a non-repeatable entity's can not.

Returns
true if the entity is repeatable, false otherwise.

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BufferedHttpEntity, and BasicManagedEntity.

◆ isChunked()

boolean isChunked ( )

The primary purpose of this method is to indicate whether chunked encoding should be used when the entity is sent. For entities that are received, it can also indicate whether the entity was received with chunked encoding.
The behavior of wrapping entities is implementation dependent, but should respect the primary purpose.

Returns
true if chunked encoding is preferred for this entity, or false if it is not

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BufferedHttpEntity.

◆ getContentLength()

long getContentLength ( )
Returns
the number of bytes of the content, or a negative number if unknown. If the content length is known but exceeds java.lang.Long.MAX_VALUE, a negative number is returned.

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BufferedHttpEntity.

◆ getContentType()

Header getContentType ( )

This is the header that should be used when sending the entity, or the one that was received with the entity. It can include a charset attribute.

Returns
the Content-Type header for this entity, or null if the content type is unknown

Implements HttpEntity.

◆ getContentEncoding()

Header getContentEncoding ( )

This is the header that should be used when sending the entity, or the one that was received with the entity. Wrapping entities that modify the content encoding should adjust this header accordingly.

Returns
the Content-Encoding header for this entity, or null if the content encoding is unknown

Implements HttpEntity.

◆ getContent()

InputStream getContent ( ) throws IOException

It is a programming error to return the same InputStream object more than once. Entities that are not repeatable will throw an exception if this method is called multiple times.

Returns
a new input stream that returns the entity data.
Exceptions
IOExceptionif the stream could not be created
IllegalStateExceptionif this entity is not repeatable and the stream has already been obtained previously

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BasicManagedEntity, and BufferedHttpEntity.

◆ writeTo()

void writeTo ( OutputStream  outstream) throws IOException
Parameters
outstreamthe output stream to write entity content to
Exceptions
IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BasicManagedEntity, and BufferedHttpEntity.

◆ isStreaming()

boolean isStreaming ( )

Streamed entities should return true until the content has been consumed, false afterwards. Self-contained entities should return false. Wrapping entities should delegate this call to the wrapped entity.
The content of a streamed entity is consumed when the stream returned by getContent has been read to EOF, or after consumeContent has been called. If a streamed entity can not detect whether the stream has been read to EOF, it should return true until consumeContent is called.

Returns
true if the entity content is streamed and not yet consumed, false otherwise

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BufferedHttpEntity.

◆ consumeContent()

void consumeContent ( ) throws IOException

All entity implementations are expected to release all allocated resources as a result of this method invocation. Content streaming entities are also expected to dispose of the remaining content, if any. Wrapping entities should delegate this call to the wrapped entity.
This method is of particular importance for entities being received from a connection . The entity needs to be consumed completely in order to re-use the connection with keep-alive.

Exceptions
IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs. This indicates that connection keep-alive is not possible.

Implements HttpEntity.

Reimplemented in BasicManagedEntity.
