Method Detail

createReader

protected org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader createReader()
                                                                  throws org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

Description copied from class: AbstractContentReader

A factory method for subclasses to implement that will ensure the proper implementation of the ContentReader.getReader() method.

Only the instance need be constructed. The required mimetype, encoding, etc will be copied across by this class.

Specified by:

createReader in class AbstractContentReader

Returns:

Returns an instance of the this class

Throws:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

getDirectReadableChannel

protected ReadableByteChannel getDirectReadableChannel()
                                                throws org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

Description copied from class: AbstractContentReader

Provides low-level access to read content from the repository.

This is the only of the content reading methods that needs to be implemented by derived classes. All other content access methods make use of this in their underlying implementations.

Specified by:

getDirectReadableChannel in class AbstractContentReader

Returns:

Returns a channel from which content can be read

Throws:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException - if the channel could not be opened or the underlying content has disappeared

exists

public boolean exists()

getLastModified

public long getLastModified()

getSize

public long getSize()
