Class BoundedReader

java.io.Reader

org.apache.commons.io.input.BoundedReader

public class BoundedReader
extends java.io.Reader

A reader that imposes a limit to the number of characters that can be read from an underlying reader, returning eof when this limit is reached -regardless of state of underlying reader.

One use case is to avoid overrunning the readAheadLimit supplied to java.io.Reader#mark(int), since reading too many characters removes the ability to do a successful reset.

Constructor Detail

BoundedReader

public BoundedReader(java.io.Reader target,
                     int maxCharsFromTargetReader)
              throws java.io.IOException

Constructs a bounded reader

Parameters:

target - The target stream that will be used

maxCharsFromTargetReader - The maximum number of characters that can be read from target

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if mark fails

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes the target

Specified by:

close in class java.io.Reader

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs while calling the underlying reader's close method

reset

public void reset()
           throws java.io.IOException

Resets the target to the latest mark,

Overrides:

reset in class java.io.Reader

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs while calling the underlying reader's reset method

See Also:

Reader.reset()

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
          throws java.io.IOException

marks the target stream

Overrides:

mark in class java.io.Reader

Parameters:

readAheadLimit - The number of characters that can be read while still retaining the ability to do #reset(). Note that this parameter is not validated with respect to maxCharsFromTargetReader. There is no way to pass past maxCharsFromTargetReader, even if this value is greater.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs while calling the underlying reader's mark method

See Also:

Reader.mark(int)

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException

Reads a single character

Overrides:

read in class java.io.Reader

Returns:

-1 on eof or the character read

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs while calling the underlying reader's read method

See Also:

Reader.read()

read

public int read(char[] cbuf,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws java.io.IOException

Reads into an array

Specified by:

read in class java.io.Reader

Parameters:

cbuf - The buffer to fill

off - The offset

len - The number of chars to read

Returns:

the number of chars read

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs while calling the underlying reader's read method

Reader.read(char[], int, int)
