public class CoderResult extends Object
A description of the result state of a coder.
A charset coder, that is, either a decoder or an encoder, consumes bytes (or characters) from an input buffer, translates them, and writes the resulting characters (or bytes) to an output buffer. A coding process terminates for one of four categories of reasons, which are described by instances of this class:
Underflow is reported when there is no more input to be processed, or there is insufficient input and additional input is required. This condition is represented by the unique result object UNDERFLOW, whose isUnderflow method returns true.
Overflow is reported when there is insufficient room remaining in the output buffer. This condition is represented by the unique result object OVERFLOW, whose isOverflow method returns true.
A malformed-input error is reported when a sequence of input units is not well-formed. Such errors are described by instances of this class whose isMalformed method returns true and whose length method returns the length of the malformed sequence. There is one unique instance of this class for all malformed-input errors of a given length.
An unmappable-character error is reported when a sequence of input units denotes a character that cannot be represented in the output charset. Such errors are described by instances of this class whose isUnmappable method returns true and whose length method returns the length of the input sequence denoting the unmappable character. There is one unique instance of this class for all unmappable-character errors of a given length.
For convenience, the isError method returns true for result objects that describe malformed-input and unmappable-character errors but false for those that describe underflow or overflow conditions.
public static final CoderResult UNDERFLOW
Result object indicating underflow, meaning that either the input buffer has been completely consumed or, if the input buffer is not yet empty, that additional input is required.
public static final CoderResult OVERFLOW
Result object indicating overflow, meaning that there is insufficient room in the output buffer.
public String toString()
Returns a string describing this coder result.
public boolean isUnderflow()
Tells whether or not this object describes an underflow condition.
true if, and only if, this object denotes underflowpublic boolean isOverflow()
Tells whether or not this object describes an overflow condition.
true if, and only if, this object denotes overflowpublic boolean isError()
Tells whether or not this object describes an error condition.
true if, and only if, this object denotes either a malformed-input error or an unmappable-character errorpublic boolean isMalformed()
Tells whether or not this object describes a malformed-input error.
true if, and only if, this object denotes a malformed-input errorpublic boolean isUnmappable()
Tells whether or not this object describes an unmappable-character error.
true if, and only if, this object denotes an unmappable-character errorpublic int length()
Returns the length of the erroneous input described by this object (optional operation).
UnsupportedOperationException - If this object does not describe an error condition, that is, if the isError does not return true
public static CoderResult malformedForLength(int length)
Static factory method that returns the unique object describing a malformed-input error of the given length.
length - The given lengthpublic static CoderResult unmappableForLength(int length)
Static factory method that returns the unique result object describing an unmappable-character error of the given length.
length - The given lengthpublic void throwException()
throws CharacterCodingException Throws an exception appropriate to the result described by this object.
BufferUnderflowException - If this object is UNDERFLOW
BufferOverflowException - If this object is OVERFLOW
MalformedInputException - If this object represents a malformed-input error; the exception's length value will be that of this objectUnmappableCharacterException - If this object represents an unmappable-character error; the exceptions length value will be that of this objectCharacterCodingException
