Class ServletOutputStream

java.io.OutputStream

jakarta.servlet.ServletOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

public abstract class ServletOutputStream
extends OutputStream

Provides an output stream for sending binary data to the client. A ServletOutputStream object is normally retrieved via the ServletResponse.getOutputStream() method.

This is an abstract class that the servlet container implements. Subclasses of this class must implement the java.io.OutputStream.write(int) method.

println

public void println()
             throws IOException

Writes a carriage return-line feed (CRLF) to the client.

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

println

public void println(String s)
             throws IOException

Writes a String to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

Parameters:

s - the String to write to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

println

public void println(boolean b)
             throws IOException

Writes a boolean value to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

Parameters:

b - the boolean value to write to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

println

public void println(char c)
             throws IOException

Writes a character to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

Parameters:

c - the character to write to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

println

public void println(int i)
             throws IOException

Writes an int to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF) character.

println

public void println(long l)
             throws IOException

Writes a long value to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

println

public void println(double d)
             throws IOException

Writes a double value to the client, followed by a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

Parameters:

d - the double value to write to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output exception occurred

isReady

public abstract boolean isReady()

Checks if a non-blocking write will succeed. If this returns false, it will cause a callback to WriteListener.onWritePossible() when the buffer has emptied. If this method returns false no further data must be written until the container calls WriteListener.onWritePossible().

Returns:

true if data can be written, else false

Since:

Servlet 3.1

setWriteListener

public abstract void setWriteListener(WriteListener listener)

Sets the WriteListener for this ServletOutputStream and thereby switches to non-blocking IO. It is only valid to switch to non-blocking IO within async processing or HTTP upgrade processing.

Parameters:

listener - The non-blocking IO write listener

Throws:

IllegalStateException - If this method is called if neither async nor HTTP upgrade is in progress or if the WriteListener has already been set

NullPointerException - If listener is null

Since:

Servlet 3.1
