Interface ByteWriterFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleByteWriterFactory

public interface ByteWriterFactory

Defines a factory for the construction of ByteWriter instances based on requested parameters.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static class	ByteWriterFactory.EncryptionStatus	An enumeration for the encryptioni status of data to placed in a requested instance.
static class	ByteWriterFactory.Fixed	An enumeration for the "fixedness" of a requested instance.
static class	ByteWriterFactory.Longevity	An enumeration for the anticipated longevity of a requested instance.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	closeByteWriter(ByteWriter byteWriter)	The caller has finished with the given ByteWriter and will no longer use it again.
void	closeFactory()	The ByteWriterFactory is no longer needed and it should close down and free all resources allocated.
ByteWriter[]	getByteWriter(ByteWriterFactory.Longevity longevity, ByteWriterFactory.EncryptionStatus encryption, ByteWriterFactory.Fixed fixed, long[] size, boolean fast)	Request an array ByteWriter instances with the given properties.
ByteWriter	getByteWriter(ByteWriterFactory.Longevity longevity, ByteWriterFactory.EncryptionStatus encryption, ByteWriterFactory.Fixed fixed, long size, boolean fast)	Request a single ByteWriter with the given properties.

Method Details

getByteWriter

ByteWriter getByteWriter(ByteWriterFactory.Longevity longevity,
 ByteWriterFactory.EncryptionStatus encryption,
 ByteWriterFactory.Fixed fixed,
 long size,
 boolean fast)
                  throws IOException

Request a single ByteWriter with the given properties. An implementation is free to ignore the properties or to use them in any way that it views appropriate in choosing the right kind of ByteWriter to return. These should be viewed as "advice" to the implementation about the intended usage.

Parameters:

longevity - anticipated lifetime of the ByteWriter

encryption - encryption status of the data to be placed into the ByteWriter

fixed - whether the size given is the maximum data that will ever be placed into the ByteWriter

size - either the maximum size of the data or an estimate of the size depending on the value of the fixed parameter

fast - the requested ByteWriter needs to be fast

Returns:

a ByteWriter matching your properties to some degree of "match"

Throws:

IOException

getByteWriter

ByteWriter[] getByteWriter(ByteWriterFactory.Longevity longevity,
 ByteWriterFactory.EncryptionStatus encryption,
 ByteWriterFactory.Fixed fixed,
 long[] size,
 boolean fast)
                    throws IOException

Request an array ByteWriter instances with the given properties. An implementation is free to ignore the properties or to use them in any way that it views appropriate in choosing the right kind of ByteWriter to return. These should be viewed as "advice" to the implementation about the intended usage.

Parameters:

longevity - anticipated lifetime of the ByteWriter

encryption - encryption status of the data to be placed into the ByteWriter

fixed - whether the size given is the maximum data that will ever be placed into the ByteWriter

size - either the maximum size of the data or an estimate of the size depending on the value of the fixed parameter

fast - the requested ByteWriter needs to be fast

Returns:

a ByteWriter matching your properties to some degree of "match"

Throws:

IOException

closeByteWriter

void closeByteWriter(ByteWriter byteWriter)
              throws IOException

The caller has finished with the given ByteWriter and will no longer use it again. The implementation can close it.

Parameters:

byteWriter - a no longer needed ByteWriter

Throws:

IOException

closeFactory

void closeFactory()
           throws IOException

The ByteWriterFactory is no longer needed and it should close down and free all resources allocated. All ByteWriter instances created by this factory can and may be destroyed during this process.

Throws:

IOException
