Constructor Detail

RandomAccessSourceFactory

public RandomAccessSourceFactory()

Creates a factory that will give preference to accessing the underling data source using memory mapped files

Method Detail

setForceRead

public RandomAccessSourceFactory setForceRead(boolean forceRead)

Determines whether the full content of the source will be read into memory

Parameters:

forceRead - true if the full content will be read, false otherwise

Returns:

this object (this allows chaining of method calls)

setUsePlainRandomAccess

public RandomAccessSourceFactory setUsePlainRandomAccess(boolean usePlainRandomAccess)

Determines whether RandomAccessFile should be used as the primary data access mechanism

Parameters:

usePlainRandomAccess - whether RandomAccessFile should be used as the primary data access mechanism

Returns:

this object (this allows chaining of method calls)

setExclusivelyLockFile

public RandomAccessSourceFactory setExclusivelyLockFile(boolean exclusivelyLockFile)

createSource

public RandomAccessSource createSource(byte[] data)

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on a byte array

Parameters:

data - the byte array

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

createSource

public RandomAccessSource createSource(java.io.RandomAccessFile raf)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createSource

public RandomAccessSource createSource(java.net.URL url)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on a URL. The data available at the URL is read into memory and used as the source for the RandomAccessSource

Parameters:

url - the url to read from

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createSource

public RandomAccessSource createSource(java.io.InputStream is)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on an InputStream. The full content of the InputStream is read into memory and used as the source for the RandomAccessSource

Parameters:

is - the stream to read from

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createBestSource

public RandomAccessSource createBestSource(java.lang.String filename)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on a filename string. If the filename describes a URL, a URL based source is created If the filename describes a file on disk, the contents may be read into memory (if forceRead is true), opened using memory mapped file channel (if usePlainRandomAccess is false), or opened using RandomAccessFile access (if usePlainRandomAccess is true) This call will automatically failover to using RandomAccessFile if the memory map operation fails

Parameters:

filename - the name of the file or resource to create the RandomAccessSource for

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createBestSource

public RandomAccessSource createBestSource(java.io.RandomAccessFile raf)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on a RandomAccessFile. The source will be opened using memory mapped file channel (if usePlainRandomAccess is false), or opened using RandomAccessFile access (if usePlainRandomAccess is true) This call will automatically failover to using RandomAccessFile if the memory map operation fails If the source couldn't be opened, the RandomAccessFile will be closed

Parameters:

raf - the RandomAccessFile to create a RandomAccessSource for

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createBestSource

public RandomAccessSource createBestSource(java.nio.channels.FileChannel channel)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Creates a RandomAccessSource based on memory mapping a file channel. Unless you are explicitly working with a FileChannel already, it is better to use createBestSource(String). If the file is large, it will be opened using a paging strategy.

Parameters:

filename - the name of the file or resource to create the RandomAccessSource for

Returns:

the newly created RandomAccessSource

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createRanged

public RandomAccessSource createRanged(RandomAccessSource source,
                                       long[] ranges)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException
