public abstract class FilterWriter
extends Writer

Abstract class for writing filtered character streams. The abstract class FilterWriter itself provides default methods that pass all requests to the contained stream. Subclasses of FilterWriter should override some of these methods and may also provide additional methods and fields.

String	toString()	Answers a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Field Details

out

protected Writer out

The underlying character-output stream.

Constructor Details

FilterWriter

protected FilterWriter(Writer out)

Create a new filtered writer.

Parameters:

out - a Writer object to provide the underlying stream.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if out is null

Method Details

write

public void write(int c)
           throws IOException

Writes a single character.

Overrides:

write in class Writer

Parameters:

c - int specifying a character to be written

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

write

public void write(char[] cbuf,
 int off,
 int len)
           throws IOException

Writes a portion of an array of characters.

Specified by:

write in class Writer

Parameters:

cbuf - Buffer of characters to be written

off - Offset from which to start reading characters

len - Number of characters to be written

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the values of the off and len parameters cause the corresponding method of the underlying Writer to throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

write

public void write(String str,
 int off,
 int len)
           throws IOException

Writes a portion of a string.

Overrides:

write in class Writer

Parameters:

str - String to be written

off - Offset from which to start reading characters

len - Number of characters to be written

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the values of the off and len parameters cause the corresponding method of the underlying Writer to throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Flushes the stream.

Specified by:

flush in interface Flushable

Specified by:

flush in class Writer

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: Writer

Closes the stream, flushing it first. Once the stream has been closed, further write() or flush() invocations will cause an IOException to be thrown. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in class Writer

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs
