Class CompressorStreamFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.compress.compressors.CompressorStreamFactory

public class CompressorStreamFactory
extends Object

Factory to create Compressor[In|Out]putStreams from names. To add other implementations you should extend CompressorStreamFactory and override the appropriate methods (and call their implementation from super of course).

Example (Compressing a file):

 final OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(output); 
 CompressorOutputStream cos = 
      new CompressorStreamFactory().createCompressorOutputStream(CompressorStreamFactory.BZIP2, out);
 IOUtils.copy(new FileInputStream(input), cos);
 cos.close();
 

Example (Compressing a file):

 final InputStream is = new FileInputStream(input); 
 CompressorInputStream in = 
      new CompressorStreamFactory().createCompressorInputStream(CompressorStreamFactory.BZIP2, is);
 IOUtils.copy(in, new FileOutputStream(output));
 in.close();
 

This class is immutable

Field Summary

static String	BZIP2 Constant used to identify the BZIP2 compression algorithm.
static String	GZIP Constant used to identify the GZIP compression algorithm.
static String	PACK200 Constant used to identify the PACK200 compression algorithm.
static String	XZ Constant used to identify the XZ compression method.

Constructor Summary

CompressorStreamFactory()

Method Summary

CompressorInputStream	createCompressorInputStream(InputStream in) Create an compressor input stream from an input stream, autodetecting the compressor type from the first few bytes of the stream.
CompressorInputStream	createCompressorInputStream(String name, InputStream in) Create a compressor input stream from a compressor name and an input stream.
CompressorOutputStream	createCompressorOutputStream(String name, OutputStream out) Create an compressor output stream from an compressor name and an input stream.

Method Detail

createCompressorInputStream

public CompressorInputStream createCompressorInputStream(InputStream in)
                                                  throws CompressorException

Create an compressor input stream from an input stream, autodetecting the compressor type from the first few bytes of the stream. The InputStream must support marks, like BufferedInputStream.

Parameters:

in - the input stream

Returns:

the compressor input stream

Throws:

CompressorException - if the compressor name is not known

IllegalArgumentException - if the stream is null or does not support mark

Since:

Commons Compress 1.1

createCompressorInputStream

public CompressorInputStream createCompressorInputStream(String name,
                                                         InputStream in)
                                                  throws CompressorException

Create a compressor input stream from a compressor name and an input stream.

Parameters:

name - of the compressor, i.e. "gz", "bzip2", "xz", or "pack200"

in - the input stream

Returns:

compressor input stream

Throws:

CompressorException - if the compressor name is not known

IllegalArgumentException - if the name or input stream is null

createCompressorOutputStream

public CompressorOutputStream createCompressorOutputStream(String name,
                                                           OutputStream out)
                                                    throws CompressorException

Create an compressor output stream from an compressor name and an input stream.

Parameters:

name - the compressor name, i.e. "gz", "bzip2", "xz", or "pack200"

out - the output stream

Returns:

the compressor output stream

Throws:

CompressorException - if the archiver name is not known

IllegalArgumentException - if the archiver name or stream is null
