Method Detail

doWrite

int doWrite(ByteChunk chunk,
            Response unused)
            throws java.io.IOException
Write some bytes.

Specified by:
doWrite in interface OutputBuffer
Parameters:
chunk - data to write
unused - used to allow buffers that can be shared by multiple responses.
Returns:
number of bytes written by the filter
Throws:
java.io.IOException

setResponse

void setResponse(Response response)
Some filters need additional parameters from the response. All the necessary reading can occur in that method, as this method is called after the response header processing is complete.


recycle

void recycle()
Make the filter ready to process the next request.


getEncodingName

ByteChunk getEncodingName()
Get the name of the encoding handled by this filter.


setBuffer

void setBuffer(OutputBuffer buffer)
Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.


end

long end()
         throws java.io.IOException
End the current request. It is acceptable to write extra bytes using buffer.doWrite during the execution of this method.

Returns:
Should return 0 unless the filter does some content length delimitation, in which case the number is the amount of extra bytes or missing bytes, which would indicate an error. Note: It is recommended that extra bytes be swallowed by the filter.
Throws:
java.io.IOException
