Class ChunkedFile

java.lang.Object
org.jboss.netty.handler.stream.ChunkedFile
All Implemented Interfaces:
ChunkedInput

public class ChunkedFile extends Object implements ChunkedInput
A ChunkedInput that fetches data from a file chunk by chunk.

If your operating system supports zero-copy file transfer such as sendfile(), you might want to use FileRegion instead.

    • ChunkedFile

      public ChunkedFile(RandomAccessFile file, long offset, long length, int chunkSize) throws IOException
      Creates a new instance that fetches data from the specified file.
      Parameters:
      offset - the offset of the file where the transfer begins

  • Method Details

    • getStartOffset

      public long getStartOffset()
      Returns the offset in the file where the transfer began.
    • getEndOffset

      public long getEndOffset()
      Returns the offset in the file where the transfer will end.
    • getCurrentOffset

      public long getCurrentOffset()
      Returns the offset in the file where the transfer is happening currently.
    • hasNextChunk

      public boolean hasNextChunk() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput
      Returns true if and only if there is any data left in the stream. Please note that false does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.
      Specified by:
      hasNextChunk in interface ChunkedInput
      Throws:
      Exception
    • isEndOfInput

      public boolean isEndOfInput() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput
      Return true if and only if there is no data left in the stream and the stream has reached at its end.
      Specified by:
      isEndOfInput in interface ChunkedInput
      Throws:
      Exception
    • close

      public void close() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput
      Releases the resources associated with the stream.
      Specified by:
      close in interface ChunkedInput
      Throws:
      Exception
    • nextChunk

      public Object nextChunk() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ChunkedInput
      Fetches a chunked data from the stream. The returned chunk is usually a ChannelBuffer, but you could extend an existing implementation to convert the ChannelBuffer into a different type that your handler or encoder understands. Once this method returns the last chunk and thus the stream has reached at its end, any subsequent ChunkedInput.isEndOfInput() call must return false.
      Specified by:
      nextChunk in interface ChunkedInput
      Returns:
      the fetched chunk, which is usually ChannelBuffer. null if there is no data left in the stream. Please note that null does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.
      Throws:
      Exception
