Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Gets the name of this writer.

Returns:

The name of the writer.

setOptions

void setOptions(LocaleId locale,
                String defaultEncoding)

Sets the options for this writer.

Parameters:

locale - the output locale.

defaultEncoding - Name of the character set encoding for the output.

setOutput

void setOutput(String path)

Sets the output through the path of the output file.

Parameters:

path - Full path of the output file.

setOutput

void setOutput(OutputStream output)

Sets the output through its output stream.

Parameters:

output - Output stream to use for the output.

handleEvent

Event handleEvent(Event event)

Handles the filter events.

Parameters:

event - The event to process.

Returns:

The event that was processed.

close

void close()

Closes the output. Developers must make sure this method is safe to call even if there is nothing to close.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

getParameters

IParameters getParameters()

Gets the current parameters for this writer.

Returns:

The current parameters for this writer.

setParameters

void setParameters(IParameters params)

Sets new parameters for this writer.

Parameters:

params - The new parameters to use.

cancel

void cancel()

Cancels the current process.

getEncoderManager

EncoderManager getEncoderManager()

Gets the current encoder manager for this writer. Some special implementation of IFilterWriter may not use an encoder manager (for example writers that do not use skeleton).

Returns:

the current encoder manager for this writer, or null if none exists for this writer.

getSkeletonWriter

ISkeletonWriter getSkeletonWriter()

Gets the skeleton writer associated with this writer. Some implementation of IFilterWriter may not use a skeleton writer.

Returns:

the skeleton writer associated with this writer or null if none is associated.
