Interface DisposableURL

All Superinterfaces:

Disposable, URL

All Known Subinterfaces:

CheckedEngineURL, EngineURL, FriendlyURL, PocURL

public interface DisposableURL
extends URL, Disposable

Representation of a URL object that should be disposed when no longer in use. The writeRelease writes the URL to a stream and disposes it in one single step, so if writeRelease is called, the object must not be disposed additionally.

Since:

5.1

writeCopy

java.io.Writer writeCopy(java.io.Writer out)
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                OutputMediatorException,
                                PostProcessorException,
                                DocumentModelException

Streams the state represented by this URL object to a writer. The URL's state however is not modified by calling this method, the write method may be used multiple times on the same object without side effects. From a performance perspective a call to this method is more expensive than calling the writeRelease method. If a called only needs to generate one single URL, the writeRelease method should be used instead.

Parameters:

out - Destination stream that receives the character representation of the URL (must not be null)

Returns:

Reference to the writer

Throws:

java.io.IOException - - error on the underlying streams

OutputMediatorException - - error during the serialization operation

DocumentModelException - - if an optional temporary copy of the state could not be created

PostProcessorException - - if an optional post processing step failed

java.io.Writer)">

writeDispose

java.io.Writer writeDispose(java.io.Writer out)
                            throws java.io.IOException,
                                   OutputMediatorException,
                                   PostProcessorException

Streams the state represented by this URL object to a writer. It is invalid to access the engine URL object after invoking this method, calling dispose() is no longer required.

Parameters:

out - Destination stream that receives the character representation of the URL (must not be null)

Returns:

Reference to the writer

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Error on the underlying streams

OutputMediatorException - - error during the serialization operation

PostProcessorException - - if an optional post processing step failed

toString

java.lang.String toString()

Creates a URL representation of the URL. Be aware that this is an expensive operation. Ty to use one of the streaming methods instead.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

string representation of the URL
