Class Pipe

java.lang.Object

io.protostuff.Pipe

public abstract class Pipe
extends Object

Transfers data from an Input to an Output.

It is recommended to use pipe only to stream data coming from server-side services (e.g from your datastore/etc).

Incoming data from the interwebs should not be piped due to validation/security purposes.

Resets this pipe for re-use.

begin

protected abstract Input begin(Pipe.Schema<?> pipeSchema)
                        throws IOException

Begin preliminary input processing.

Throws:

IOException

end

protected abstract void end(Pipe.Schema<?> pipeSchema,
       Input input,
       boolean cleanupOnly)
                     throws IOException

End input processing.

If cleanupOnly is true, the io processing ended prematurely hence the underlying pipe should cleanup/close all resources that need to be.

Throws:

IOException

transferDirect

public static <T> void transferDirect(Pipe.Schema<T> pipeSchema,
                      Pipe pipe,
                      Input input,
                      Output output)
                           throws IOException

This should not be called directly by applications.

Throws:

IOException
