Class Bitstream

java.lang.Object

org.dspace.content.DSpaceObject

org.dspace.content.Bitstream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, DSpaceObjectLegacySupport, ReloadableEntity<UUID>

@Entity
public class Bitstream
extends DSpaceObject
implements DSpaceObjectLegacySupport

Class representing bitstreams stored in the DSpace system.

When modifying the bitstream metadata, changes are not reflected in the database until update is called. Note that you cannot alter the contents of a bitstream; you need to create a new bitstream.

Throws:

SQLException - if database error

getSource

public String getSource()

Get the source of this bitstream - typically the filename with path information (if originally provided) or the name of the tool that generated this bitstream

Returns:

the source of the bitstream

setSource

public void setSource(Context context,
             String n)
               throws SQLException

Set the source of the bitstream

Parameters:

context - context

n - the new source of the bitstream

Throws:

SQLException - if database error

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Get the description of this bitstream - optional free text, typically provided by a user at submission time

Returns:

the description of the bitstream

setDescription

public void setDescription(Context context,
                  String n)
                    throws SQLException

Set the description of the bitstream

Parameters:

context - context

n - the new description of the bitstream

Throws:

SQLException - if database error

getChecksum

public String getChecksum()

Get the checksum of the content of the bitstream, for integrity checking

Returns:

the checksum

setChecksum

public void setChecksum(String checksum)

getChecksumAlgorithm

public String getChecksumAlgorithm()

Get the algorithm used to calculate the checksum

Returns:

the algorithm, e.g. "MD5"

setChecksumAlgorithm

public void setChecksumAlgorithm(String checksumAlgorithm)

getSize

public long getSize()

Get the size of the bitstream

Returns:

the size in bytes

setSizeBytes

public void setSizeBytes(long sizeBytes)

getUserFormatDescription

public String getUserFormatDescription()

Get the user's format description. Returns null if the format is known by the system.

Returns:

the user's format description.

getBitstreamFormat

protected BitstreamFormat getBitstreamFormat()

getFormat

public BitstreamFormat getFormat(Context context)
                          throws SQLException

Get the format of the bitstream

Parameters:

context - context

Returns:

the format of this bitstream

Throws:

SQLException - if database error

isDeleted

public boolean isDeleted()
                  throws SQLException

Bitstreams are only logically deleted (via a flag in the database). This method allows us to verify is the bitstream is still valid

Returns:

true if the bitstream has been deleted

Throws:

SQLException - if database error

setDeleted

public void setDeleted(boolean deleted)

getBundles
