Interface SessionOutputBuffer

All Known Implementing Classes:
  SessionOutputBufferImpl

    public interface SessionOutputBuffer

Session output buffer for non-blocking connections. This interface facilitates intermediate buffering of output data streamed out to a destination channel and writing data to the buffer from a source, usually `ByteBuffer` or `ReadableByteChannel`. This interface also provides methods for writing lines of text.

Since:
  4.0

Method Summary
`int` `flush(WritableByteChannel channel)` Makes an attempt to flush the content of this buffer to the given destination `WritableByteChannel`.
`boolean` `hasData()` Determines if the buffer contains data.
`int` `length()` Returns the length of this buffer.
`void` `write(ByteBuffer src)` Copies content of the source buffer into this buffer.
`void` `write(ReadableByteChannel src)` Reads a sequence of bytes from the source channel into this buffer.
`void` `writeLine(CharArrayBuffer src)` Copies content of the source buffer into this buffer as one line of text including a line delimiter.
`void` `writeLine(String s)` Copies content of the given string into this buffer as one line of text including a line delimiter.

Method Detail

### hasData

    boolean hasData()

  Determines if the buffer contains data.

  Returns:
    `true` if there is data in the buffer, `false` otherwise.

### length

    int length()

  Returns the length of this buffer.

  Returns:
    buffer length.

### flush

    int flush(WritableByteChannel channel)
              throws IOException

  Makes an attempt to flush the content of this buffer to the given destination `WritableByteChannel`.

  Parameters:
    `channel` - the destination channel.
  Returns:
    The number of bytes written, possibly zero.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - in case of an I/O error.

### write

    void write(ByteBuffer src)

  Copies content of the source buffer into this buffer. The capacity of the destination will be expanded in order to accommodate the entire content of the source buffer.

  Parameters:
    `src` - the source buffer.

### write

    void write(ReadableByteChannel src)
               throws IOException

  Reads a sequence of bytes from the source channel into this buffer.

  Parameters:
    `src` - the source channel.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### writeLine

    void writeLine(CharArrayBuffer src)
                   throws CharacterCodingException

  Copies content of the source buffer into this buffer as one line of text including a line delimiter. The capacity of the destination will be expanded in order to accommodate the entire content of the source buffer.

  The choice of a char encoding and line delimiter sequence is up to the specific implementations of this interface.

  Parameters:
    `src` - the source buffer.
  Throws:
    `CharacterCodingException`

### writeLine

    void writeLine(String s)
                   throws IOException

  Copies content of the given string into this buffer as one line of text including a line delimiter. The capacity of the destination will be expanded in order to accommodate the entire string.

  The choice of a char encoding and line delimiter sequence is up to the specific implementations of this interface.

  Parameters:
    `s` - the string.
  Throws:
    `IOException`
