Constructor Detail

COSStream

public COSStream(RandomAccess storage)

Constructor. Creates a new stream with an empty dictionary.

Parameters:

storage - The intermediate storage for the stream.

COSStream

public COSStream(COSDictionary dictionary,
                 RandomAccess storage)

Constructor.

Parameters:

dictionary - The dictionary that is associated with this stream.

storage - The intermediate storage for the stream.

Method Detail

replaceWithStream

public void replaceWithStream(COSStream stream)

This will replace this object with the data from the new object. This is used to easily maintain referential integrity when changing references to new objects.

Parameters:

stream - The stream that have the new values in it.

getScratchFile

public RandomAccess getScratchFile()

This will get the scratch file associated with this stream.

Returns:

The scratch file where this stream is being stored.

getStreamTokens

public List getStreamTokens()
                     throws IOException

This will get all the tokens in the stream.

Returns:

All of the tokens in the stream.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error parsing the stream.

getFilteredStream

public InputStream getFilteredStream()
                              throws IOException

This will get the stream with all of the filters applied.

Returns:

the bytes of the physical (endoced) stream

Throws:

IOException - when encoding/decoding causes an exception

getUnfilteredStream

public InputStream getUnfilteredStream()
                                throws IOException

This will get the logical content stream with none of the filters.

Returns:

the bytes of the logical (decoded) stream

Throws:

IOException - when encoding/decoding causes an exception

accept

public Object accept(ICOSVisitor visitor)
              throws COSVisitorException

visitor pattern double dispatch method.

Overrides:

accept in class COSDictionary

Parameters:

visitor - The object to notify when visiting this object.

Returns:

any object, depending on the visitor implementation, or null

Throws:

COSVisitorException - If an error occurs while visiting this object.

getFilters

public COSBase getFilters()

This will return the filters to apply to the byte stream. The method will return - null if no filters are to be applied - a COSName if one filter is to be applied - a COSArray containing COSNames if multiple filters are to be applied

Returns:

the COSBase object representing the filters

createFilteredStream

public OutputStream createFilteredStream()
                                  throws IOException

This will create a new stream for which filtered byte should be written to. You probably don't want this but want to use the createUnfilteredStream, which is used to write raw bytes to.

Returns:

A stream that can be written to.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error creating the stream.

createFilteredStream

public OutputStream createFilteredStream(COSBase expectedLength)
                                  throws IOException

This will create a new stream for which filtered byte should be written to. You probably don't want this but want to use the createUnfilteredStream, which is used to write raw bytes to.

Parameters:

expectedLength - An entry where a length is expected.

Returns:

A stream that can be written to.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error creating the stream.

setFilters

public void setFilters(COSBase filters)
                throws IOException

set the filters to be applied to the stream.

Parameters:

filters - The filters to set on this stream.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error clearing the old filters.

createUnfilteredStream

public OutputStream createUnfilteredStream()
                                    throws IOException

This will create an output stream that can be written to.

Returns:

An output stream which raw data bytes should be written to.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error creating the stream.
