public JhoveBase()
          throws JhoveException

```
    Initializes the JHOVE engine. This method parses the configuration file and initialises the JHOVE engine based on the values parsed. Version 1.11 would create the configuration file if not found. Version 1.12 changes this behaviour. The file path supplied must be resolvable to an existing JHOVE config file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configFile - Configuration file pathname
    
    saxClass - a SAX parser class, will use JVM default if not supplied
    
    Throws:
    
    JhoveException - when anything goes wrong
  - setCallback
```
public void setCallback(Callback callback)
```
    Sets a callback object for tracking progress. By default, the callback is null.

```
    Processes a file or directory, or outputs information. If dirFileOrUri is null, Does one of the following:
    
    If module is non-null, provides information about the module.
    Otherwise if aboutHandler is non-null, provides information about that handler.
    If they're both null, provides information about the application.

    module - The module to be used
    
    aboutHandler - If specified, the handler about which info is requested
    
    handler - The handler for processing the output
    
    outputFile - Name of the file to which output should go

```
    Saves a URLConnection's data stream to a temporary file. This may be interrupted asynchronously by calling abort, in which case it will delete the temporary file and return null.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - abort
```
public void abort()
```
    Aborts an activity. This simply sets a flag; whether anything is aborted depends on what activity is happening.
