public class FileLoadDescriptor
extends OperationDescriptorImpl

An OperationDescriptor describing the "FileLoad" operation.

In the default instance the validateParameters() method checks that the named file exists and is readable. If not, it will return false, causing JAI.createNS() to throw an IllegalArgumentException. In special cases like when an image is loaded from a Remote system, the above check for existence of a file on the local system could be bypassed. This is done by setting the Boolean variable checkFileLocally to FALSE in the ParameterBlock

The allowable formats are those registered with the com.sun.media.jai.codec.ImageCodec class.

The second parameter contains an instance of ImageDecodeParam to be used during the decoding. It may be set to null in order to perform default decoding, or equivalently may be omitted.

The classes in the com.sun.media.jai.codec package are not a committed part of the JAI API. Future releases of JAI will make use of new classes in their place. This class will change accordingly.

Method Detail

validateParameters

protected boolean validateParameters(ParameterBlock args,
                                     StringBuffer msg)
Validates the input parameters.

In addition to the standard checks performed by the superclass method, this method by default checks that the source file exists and is readable. This check may be bypassed by setting the checkFileLocally parameter to FALSE

Overrides:
validateParameters in class OperationDescriptorImpl
Tags copied from class: OperationDescriptorImpl
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if args is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if msg is null and the validation fails.
