Class NFileEntity

java.lang.Object

org.apache.http.entity.AbstractHttpEntity

org.apache.http.nio.entity.NFileEntity

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, HttpEntity, HttpAsyncContentProducer, ProducingNHttpEntity

public class NFileEntity
extends AbstractHttpEntity
implements HttpAsyncContentProducer, ProducingNHttpEntity

A self contained, repeatable non-blocking entity that retrieves its content from a file. This class is mostly used to stream large files of different types, so one needs to supply the content type of the file to make sure the content can be correctly recognized and processed by the recipient.

Since:

4.0

Constructor Detail

NFileEntity

public NFileEntity(File file,
           ContentType contentType,
           boolean useFileChannels)

Creates new instance of NFileEntity from the given source File with the given content type. If useFileChannels is set to true, the entity will try to use FileContentEncoder interface to stream file content directly from the file channel.

Parameters:

file - the source file.

contentType - the content type of the file.

useFileChannels - flag whether the direct transfer from the file channel should be attempted.

Since:

4.2

NFileEntity

public NFileEntity(File file)

Since:

4.2

NFileEntity

public NFileEntity(File file,
           ContentType contentType)

Creates new instance of NFileEntity from the given source File with the given content type.

Parameters:

file - the source file.

contentType - the content type of the file.

Since:

4.2

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Throws:

IOException

Since:

4.2

finish

@Deprecated
public void finish()
            throws IOException

Deprecated. (4.2) use close()

Notification that any resources allocated for writing can be released.

Specified by:

finish in interface ProducingNHttpEntity

Throws:

IOException

getContentLength

public long getContentLength()

Specified by:

getContentLength in interface HttpEntity

isRepeatable

public boolean isRepeatable()

Description copied from interface: HttpAsyncContentProducer

Determines whether or not this producer is capable of producing its content more than once. Repeatable content producers are expected to be able to recreate their content even after having been closed.

Specified by:

isRepeatable in interface HttpEntity

Specified by:

isRepeatable in interface HttpAsyncContentProducer

produceContent

public void produceContent(ContentEncoder encoder,
                  IOControl ioControl)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: HttpAsyncContentProducer

Invoked to write out a chunk of content to the ContentEncoder. The IOControl interface can be used to suspend output event notifications if the entity is temporarily unable to produce more content.

When all content is finished, the producer MUST call ContentEncoder.complete(). Failure to do so may cause the entity to be incorrectly delimited.

Please note that the ContentEncoder object is not thread-safe and should only be used within the context of this method call. The IOControl object can be shared and used on other thread to resume output event notifications when more content is made available.

Specified by:

produceContent in interface HttpAsyncContentProducer

Specified by:

produceContent in interface ProducingNHttpEntity

Parameters:

encoder - content encoder.

ioControl - I/O control of the underlying connection.

Throws:

IOException

isStreaming

public boolean isStreaming()

Specified by:

isStreaming in interface HttpEntity

getContent

public InputStream getContent()
                       throws IOException

Specified by:

getContent in interface HttpEntity

Throws:

IOException

writeTo

public void writeTo(OutputStream outStream)
             throws IOException

Specified by:

writeTo in interface HttpEntity

Throws:

IOException
