    • getMimeType

      public String getMimeType() throws ContentIOException
      Description copied from interface: ContentItem
      Returns the mime type for the content entity. If the repository does not store mimetypes, this call usually uses the repositories MimeRegistry to resolve the mimetype.
      Specified by:
      getMimeType in interface ContentItem
      Returns:
      the mime type.
      Throws:
      ContentIOException - if an error occured.
    • getOutputStream

      public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws ContentIOException, IOException
      Description copied from interface: ContentItem
      Tries to open and return a output stream for writing into the content item. This call will fail if the item is not writeable. Whether opening multiple output streams at the same time is possible is implementation dependent, but it is generally not recommended to try this.

      Having both an input and output stream open at the same time is not guaranteed to work. Generally if you need to append data, first open the inputstream and copy the content to a temporary location and then write the content along with the appended content to the new output stream.

      Specified by:
      getOutputStream in interface ContentItem
      Returns:
      the output stream for writing the item.
      Throws:
      ContentIOException - if an repository related error prevents the creation of the output stream.
      IOException - if an IO error occurs.
    • getInputStream

      public InputStream getInputStream() throws ContentIOException, IOException
      Description copied from interface: ContentItem
      Tries to open and return a input stream for reading from the content item. This call will fail if the item is not readable. Whether opening multiple input streams at the same time is possible is implementation dependent.

      Having both an input and output stream open at the same time is not guaranteed to work. Generally if you need to append data, first open the inputstream and copy the content to a temporary location and then write the content along with the appended content to the new output stream.

      Specified by:
      getInputStream in interface ContentItem
      Returns:
      the input stream for reading from the item.
      Throws:
      ContentIOException - if an repository related error prevents the creation of the input stream.
      IOException - if an IO error occurs.
    • isReadable

      public boolean isReadable()
      Description copied from interface: ContentItem
      Checks, whether the content item is readable. A content item that is not readable will never return a valid inputstream and any call to getInputStream is bound to fail.
      Specified by:
      isReadable in interface ContentItem
      Returns:
      true, if the content item is readable, false otherwise.
    • isWriteable

      public boolean isWriteable()
      Description copied from interface: ContentItem
      Checks, whether the content item is writable. A content item that is not writable will never return a valid outputstream and any call to getOutputStream is bound to fail.
      Specified by:
      isWriteable in interface ContentItem
      Returns:
      true, if the content item is writeable, false otherwise.
