public class FromEclipseQueue

extends java.io.InputStream

A queue for sending data from ECLiPSe to Java. This class performs no processing of the data and cannot for example, deal with EXDR format (see EXDRInputStream for a class which can handle this).

In addition to the standard methods inherited from its superclass, this class also provides the ability to attach a QueueListener object to the FromEclipseQueue, as a handler for incoming data.

There is no public constructor; to access an FromEclipseQueue use the createFromEclipseQueue() of an object implementing the EclipseConnection interface or the getEclipseStderr() or getEclipseStdout() method of an object implementing the EclipseEngine interface.

Method Summary

int	available()
void	close() Closes the queue (both eclipse and Java sides), removing any listener.
int	read()
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len) Read bytes from the FromEclipseQueue into a byte array.
void	removeListener() Detach any QueueListener from this FromEclipseQueue.
void	setListener(QueueListener l) Attach a QueueListener to this FromEclipseQueue for handling incoming data.

Method Detail

available

public int available()
              throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

available in class java.io.InputStream

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws java.io.IOException

Read bytes from the FromEclipseQueue into a byte array. len bytes are read from the queue and stored in byte array b at offset off.

Returns:

the number of bytes read.

Overrides:

read in class java.io.InputStream

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

read in class java.io.InputStream

setListener

public void setListener(QueueListener l)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Attach a QueueListener to this FromEclipseQueue for handling incoming data. When ECLiPSe flushes the queue, the dataAvailable() method of the QueueListener is invoked.

removeListener

public void removeListener()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Detach any QueueListener from this FromEclipseQueue.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes the queue (both eclipse and Java sides), removing any listener.

Overrides:

close in class java.io.InputStream
