Class ProxyInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable
Direct Known Subclasses:
CloseShieldInputStream, CountingInputStream, TaggedInputStream

public abstract class ProxyInputStream extends FilterInputStream
A Proxy stream which acts as expected, that is it passes the method calls on to the proxied stream and doesn't change which methods are being called.

It is an alternative base class to FilterInputStream to increase reusability, because FilterInputStream changes the methods being called, such as read(byte[]) to read(byte[], int, int).

See the protected methods for ways in which a subclass can easily decorate a stream with custom pre-, post- or error processing functionality.
