Interface RandomAccessStorage

All Known Implementing Classes:

MemoryRandomAccessStorage, FileRandomAccessStorage

public abstract interface RandomAccessStorage

Interface for RandomAccessFile-like functionality. Access to read and write operations is provided with JavaBeans-style InputStream and OutputStream representations, rather than methods conforming to no standard formal interface. This is to leverage existing Input/OutputStream-based code. Note: I/O stream representations do not have separate state, and the file position is thus shared by all representations, making it unsafe for uncoordinated concurrent access, like a normal RandomAccessFile. All read/write operations advance the file pointer.

Method Summary

java.io.InputStream	asInputStream() Deprecated. temporary method.
java.io.OutputStream	asOutputStream() Deprecated. temporary method.
void	seek(long position) Seek to a specified byte-offset relative to the beginning of the file.
void	skip(int bytes) Skip a number of bytes, advancing the byte-offset.

Method Detail

seek

public void seek(long position)
          throws java.io.IOException

Seek to a specified byte-offset relative to the beginning of the file.

Parameters:

position - the position to seek to

skip

public void skip(int bytes)
          throws java.io.IOException

Skip a number of bytes, advancing the byte-offset.

Parameters:

bytes - the number of bytes to skip

asOutputStream

public java.io.OutputStream asOutputStream()

Deprecated. temporary method.

Return an OutputStream which writes to the storage.

asInputStream

public java.io.InputStream asInputStream()

Deprecated. temporary method.

Return an InputStream which reads from the storage.
