Method Detail

getInputStream

@Nonnull
java.io.InputStream getInputStream()

Return an InputStream.

It is expected that each call creates a fresh stream.

Returns:

the input stream for the underlying resource (must not be null)

Throws:

IoRuntimeException - if the stream could not be opened

exists

boolean exists()

Return whether this resource actually exists in physical form.

This method performs a definitive existence check, whereas the existence of a Resource handle only guarantees a valid descriptor handle.

getURL

@Nonnull
java.net.URL getURL()

Return a URL handle for this resource.

Throws:

IoRuntimeException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URL, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getURI

@Nonnull
java.net.URI getURI()

Return a URI handle for this resource.

Throws:

IoRuntimeException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URI, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getFile

@Nonnull
java.io.File getFile()

Return a File handle for this resource.

Throws:

IoRuntimeException - if the resource cannot be resolved as absolute file path, i.e. if the resource is not available in a file system

lastModified

long lastModified()

Determine the last-modified timestamp for this resource.

Throws:

IoRuntimeException - if the resource cannot be resolved (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Return a description for this resource, to be used for error output when working with the resource.

Implementations are also encouraged to return this value from their toString method.
