Class Buffers

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Iterable<java.nio.ByteBuffer>

    public class Buffers
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Iterable<java.nio.ByteBuffer>
    Class to do scattering reads or gathering writes on a sequence of ByteBuffer instances. The buffers are kept in an array with fixed capacity (max Short.MAX_VALUE). Buffers can be added and removed dynamically (they're dropped when the capacity is exceeded).

    A read is successful when all non-null buffers from left to right are filled, ie. all Buffer.remaining() methods return 0.

    Same for writes: when all non-null buffers (from left to right) have been written (Buffer.remaining() == 0), a write is considered successful; otherwise it is partial.

    Individual buffers can be accessed; e.g. for reading its value after a read. It is also possible to add buffers dynamically, e.g. after reading a 'length' buffer, a user may want to add a new buffer allocated for reading 'length' bytes.

    This class is not synchronized.

                                              throws java.lang.Exception
        Reads length and then length bytes into the data buffer, which is grown if needed.
        Parameters:
        ch - The channel to read data from
        Returns:
        The data buffer (position is 0 and limit is length), or null if not all data could be read.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • read

        public boolean read​(java.nio.channels.SocketChannel ch)
                     throws java.lang.Exception
        Performs a scattering read into all (contiguous) non-null buffers in range [position .. limit]. Returns true if the scattering read was successful, else false. Note that to read the contents of the individual buffers, ByteBuffer.clear() has to be called (all buffers have their position == limit on a successful read).
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • write

        public boolean write​(java.nio.channels.GatheringByteChannel ch,

                      throws java.lang.Exception
        Helper method which adds the buffers passed as arguments and then calls write()
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • write

        public boolean write​(java.nio.channels.GatheringByteChannel ch)
                      throws java.lang.Exception
        Writes the buffers from position to limit to the given channel. Note that all buffers need to have their ByteBuffer.position(int) at the start of the data to be written be at the start of the data to be written.
        Parameters:
        ch - The channel to write to
        Returns:
        True if all the bytes of the buffer were written successfully, false otherwise (partial write).
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - Thrown if the write failed
      • copy

        public Buffers copy()
        Copies the data that has not yet been written and moves last_copied. Typically done after an unsuccessful write, if copying is required. This is typically needed if the output buffer is reused. Note that direct buffers will be converted to heap-based buffers
      • size

        public int size()
        Returns the number of elements that have not yet been read or written
      • toString

      • makeSpace

        protected boolean makeSpace()
      • nullData

        protected boolean nullData()

      • copyBuffer

        public static java.nio.ByteBuffer copyBuffer​(java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)
        Copies a ByteBuffer by copying and wrapping the underlying array of a heap-based buffer. Direct buffers are converted to heap-based buffers
      • iterator

        public java.util.Iterator<java.nio.ByteBuffer> iterator()
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<java.nio.ByteBuffer>
