Method Details

getReader

public Reader getReader()
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: Representation

Returns a character reader with the representation's content. This method is ensured to return a fresh reader for each invocation unless it is a transient representation, in which case null is returned. If the representation has no character set defined, the system's default one will be used.

Specified by:

getReader in class Representation

Returns:

A reader with the representation's content.

Throws:

IOException

getText

public String getText()
               throws IOException

Note that this method relies on CharacterRepresentation.getStream(). This stream is closed once fully read.

Overrides:

getText in class Representation

Returns:

The representation as a string value.

Throws:

IOException

release

public void release()

Closes and releases the input stream.

Overrides:

release in class Representation

setReader

public void setReader(Reader reader)

Sets the reader to use.

Parameters:

reader - The reader to use.

write

public void write(Writer writer)
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: Representation

Writes the representation to a characters writer. 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 Writer after writing to it as this will be handled by the Restlet connectors automatically.

Specified by:

write in class Representation

Parameters:

writer - The characters writer.

Throws:

IOException
