public class TeeReader
extends ProxyReader

Reader proxy that transparently writes a copy of all characters read from the proxied reader to a given Reader. Using ProxyReader.skip(long) or ProxyReader.mark(int)/ProxyReader.reset() on the reader will result on some characters from the reader being skipped or duplicated in the writer.

The proxied reader is closed when the close() method is called on this proxy. You may configure whether the reader closes the writer.

Constructor Detail

TeeReader

public TeeReader(Reader input,
                 Writer branch)

Creates a TeeReader that proxies the given Reader and copies all read characters to the given Writer. The given writer will not be closed when this reader gets closed.

Parameters:

input - reader to be proxied

branch - writer that will receive a copy of all characters read

TeeReader

public TeeReader(Reader input,
                 Writer branch,
                 boolean closeBranch)

Creates a TeeReader that proxies the given Reader and copies all read characters to the given Writer. The given writer will be closed when this reader gets closed if the closeBranch parameter is true.

Parameters:

input - reader to be proxied

branch - writer that will receive a copy of all characters read

closeBranch - flag for closing also the writer when this reader is closed

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Closes the proxied reader and, if so configured, the associated writer. An exception thrown from the reader will not prevent closing of the writer.

close in class ProxyReader

Throws:

IOException - if either the reader or writer could not be closed

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Reads a single character from the proxied reader and writes it to the associated writer.

Overrides:

read in class ProxyReader

read

public int read(char[] chr)
         throws IOException

Reads characters from the proxied reader and writes the read characters to the associated writer.

Overrides:

read in class ProxyReader

Parameters:

chr - character buffer

Returns:

number of characters read, or -1 if the reader has ended

Throws:

IOException - if the reader could not be read (or written)

read

public int read(char[] chr,
                int st,
                int end)
         throws IOException

Reads characters from the proxied reader and writes the read characters to the associated writer.

Throws:

IOException - if the reader could not be read (or written)

read

public int read(CharBuffer target)
         throws IOException
