  • Method Details

    • getStream

      public InputStream getStream() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: Representation
      Returns a stream with the representation's content. This method is ensured to return a fresh stream for each invocation unless it is a transient representation, in which case null is returned.
      Specified by:
      getStream in class Representation
      Returns:
      A stream with the representation's content.
      Throws:
      IOException
    • release

      public void release()
      Description copied from class: Representation
      Releases the representation and all associated objects like streams, channels or files which are used to produce its content, transient or not. This method must be systematically called when the representation is no longer intended to be used. The framework automatically calls back this method via its connectors on the server-side when sending responses with an entity and on the client-side when sending a request with an entity. By default, it calls the Representation.setAvailable(boolean) method with "false" as a value.

      Note that for transient socket-bound representations, calling this method after consuming the whole content shouldn't prevent the reuse of underlying socket via persistent connections for example. However, if the content hasn't been read, or has been partially read, the impact should be to discard the remaining content and to close the underlying connections.

      Therefore, if you are not interested in the content, or in the remaining content, you should first call the Representation.exhaust() method or if this could be too costly, you should instead explicitly abort the parent request and the underlying connections using the Request.abort() method or a shortcut one like ServerResource.abort() or Response.abort().
      Overrides:
      release in class Representation
    • write

      public void write(OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException
      Description copied from class: Representation
      Writes the representation to a byte stream. This method is ensured to write the full content for each invocation unless it is a transient representation, in which case an exception is thrown.

      Note that the class implementing this method shouldn't flush or close the given OutputStream after writing to it as this will be handled by the Restlet connectors automatically.
      Specified by:
      write in class Representation
      Parameters:
      outputStream - The output stream.
      Throws:
      IOException
