Class java.net.URLStreamHandler
java.lang.Object
|
+----java.net.URLStreamHandler
- public class URLStreamHandler
- extends Object
Abstract class for URL stream openers.
Subclasses of this class know how to create streams for particular
protocol types.
-
URLStreamHandler()
-
-
openConnection(URL)
- Opens an input stream to the object referenced by the URL.
-
parseURL(URL, String, int, int)
-
This method is called to parse the string spec into URL u.
-
setURL(URL, String, String, int, String, String)
- Calls the (protected) set method out of the URL given.
-
toExternalForm(URL)
- Reverses the parsing of the URL.
URLStreamHandler
public URLStreamHandler()
openConnection
protected abstract URLConnection openConnection(URL u) throws IOException
- Opens an input stream to the object referenced by the URL. This method should be
overridden by a subclass.
- Parameters:
- u - the URL that this connects to
parseURL
protected void parseURL(URL u,
String spec,
int start,
int limit)
- This method is called to parse the string spec into URL u. If there is any inherited
context then it has already been copied into u. The parameters start and limit refer
to the range of characters in spec that should be parsed. The default
method uses parsing rules that match the http spec, which most URL
protocol families follow. If you are writing a protocol handler that
has a different syntax, then this routine should be overridden.
- Parameters:
- u - the URL to receive the result of parsing the spec
- spec - the URL string to parse
- start - the character position to start parsing at. This is
just past the ':' (if there is one)
- limit - the character position to stop parsing at. This is
the end of the string or the position of the "#"
character if present (the "#" reference syntax is
protocol independant).
toExternalForm
protected String toExternalForm(URL u)
- Reverses the parsing of the URL. This should probably be overridden if
you override parseURL().
- Parameters:
- u - the URL
- Returns:
- the textual representation of the fully qualified URL (ie.
after the context and canonicalization have been applied).
setURL
protected void setURL(URL u,
String protocol,
String host,
int port,
String file,
String ref)
- Calls the (protected) set method out of the URL given. Only
classes derived from URLStreamHandler are supposed to be able
to call the set() method on a URL.
