FileTransfer

public FileTransfer(File f,
                    long pos,
                    long len)

Constructs a new FileTransfer instance backed by the specified File. The content to transfer will begin at the specified offset, pos with the total transfer length being specified by len.

Parameters:

f - the File to transfer.

pos - the offset within the File to start the transfer.

len - the total number of bytes to transfer.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if f is null, does not exist, is not readable, or is a directory.

IllegalArgumentException - if pos or len are negative.

IllegalArgumentException - if len exceeds the number of bytes that may be transferred based on the provided offset and file length.

Method Detail

writeTo

public long writeTo(WritableByteChannel c)
             throws IOException

Transfers the File backing this FileTransfer to the specified WritableByteChannel.

Parameters:

c - the WritableByteChannel

Returns:

the number of bytes that have been transferred

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while processing

remaining

public int remaining()

Return the number of bytes remaining to be written.

Specified by:

remaining in interface WritableMessage

Returns:

the number of bytes remaining to be written.

release

public boolean release()

Perform message specific actions to release resources held by the entity backing this WritableMessage.

Specified by:

release in interface WritableMessage

Returns:

true if successfully released

isExternal

public boolean isExternal()

Returns true if the message represents an external resource (for example FileTransfer), which is not loaded in memory.
