Method Detail

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

Gets an input stream around the resource. Callers of this method are responsible for resource cleanup; it should be sufficient to simply call InputStream.close() unless otherwise noted.

Implementers should produce a new instance on every call to this method to provide for thread-safe usage patterns on a shared resource.

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface Resource

Returns:

Input stream around underlying resource, e.g. file, remote resource (URI), etc.

Throws:

IOException - On IO errors.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
