    public abstract class ThresholdingOutputStream

extends java.io.OutputStream

An output stream which triggers an event when a specified number of bytes of data have been written to it. The event can be used, for example, to throw an exception if a maximum has been reached, or to switch the underlying stream type when the threshold is exceeded.

This class overrides all `OutputStream` methods. However, these overrides ultimately call the corresponding methods in the underlying output stream implementation.

NOTE: This implementation may trigger the event before the threshold is actually reached, since it triggers when a pending write operation would cause the threshold to be exceeded.

Constructor Summary
`ThresholdingOutputStream(int threshold)` Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold.

Method Summary
`protected void` `checkThreshold(int count)` Checks to see if writing the specified number of bytes would cause the configured threshold to be exceeded.
`void` `close()` Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.
`void` `flush()` Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.
`long` `getByteCount()` Returns the number of bytes that have been written to this output stream.
`protected abstract java.io.OutputStream` `getStream()` Returns the underlying output stream, to which the corresponding `OutputStream` methods in this class will ultimately delegate.
`int` `getThreshold()` Returns the threshold, in bytes, at which an event will be triggered.
`boolean` `isThresholdExceeded()` Determines whether or not the configured threshold has been exceeded for this output stream.
`protected abstract void` `thresholdReached()` Indicates that the configured threshold has been reached, and that a subclass should take whatever action necessary on this event.
`void` `write(byte[] b)` Writes `b.length` bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
`void` `write(byte[] b, int off, int len)` Writes `len` bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset `off` to this output stream.
`void` `write(int b)` Writes the specified byte to this output stream.

Constructor Detail

### ThresholdingOutputStream

    public ThresholdingOutputStream(int threshold)

  Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold.

  Parameters:
    `threshold` - The number of bytes at which to trigger an event.

Method Detail

### write

    public void write(int b)
               throws java.io.IOException

  Writes the specified byte to this output stream.

  Specified by:
    `write` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - The byte to be written.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### write

    public void write(byte[] b)
               throws java.io.IOException

  Writes `b.length` bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.

  Overrides:
    `write` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - The array of bytes to be written.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### write

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

  Writes `len` bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset `off` to this output stream.

  Overrides:
    `write` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - The byte array from which the data will be written.
    `off` - The start offset in the byte array.
    `len` - The number of bytes to write.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### flush

    public void flush()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.

  Specified by:
    `flush` in interface `java.io.Flushable`
  Overrides:
    `flush` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### close

    public void close()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `java.io.Closeable`
  Overrides:
    `close` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### getThreshold

    public int getThreshold()

  Returns the threshold, in bytes, at which an event will be triggered.

  Returns:
    The threshold point, in bytes.

### getByteCount

    public long getByteCount()

  Returns the number of bytes that have been written to this output stream.

  Returns:
    The number of bytes written.

### isThresholdExceeded

    public boolean isThresholdExceeded()

  Determines whether or not the configured threshold has been exceeded for this output stream.

  Returns:
    `true` if the threshold has been reached; `false` otherwise.

### checkThreshold

    protected void checkThreshold(int count)
                           throws java.io.IOException

  Checks to see if writing the specified number of bytes would cause the configured threshold to be exceeded. If so, triggers an event to allow a concrete implementation to take action on this.

  Parameters:
    `count` - The number of bytes about to be written to the underlying output stream.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### getStream

    protected abstract java.io.OutputStream getStream()
                                               throws java.io.IOException

  Returns the underlying output stream, to which the corresponding `OutputStream` methods in this class will ultimately delegate.

  Returns:
    The underlying output stream.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.

### thresholdReached

    protected abstract void thresholdReached()
                                      throws java.io.IOException

  Indicates that the configured threshold has been reached, and that a subclass should take whatever action necessary on this event. This may include changing the underlying output stream.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurs.
