Class DatedFileOutputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.OutputStream
      com.claritysys.io.DatedFileOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable

public class DatedFileOutputStream
extends java.io.OutputStream

Provides an easy way to write log files which follow a dated naming scheme, such as 'batch_19990527'.

Same as DatedFileWriter, but used for streams. This one is required for redirecting System.out since that is a stream, not a writer.

Field Summary

protected boolean	append True if we are to open files in append mode.
protected java.text.SimpleDateFormat	dateFormat The SimpleDateFormat makes it easy to produce the pattern string, the actual name pattern is passed right to it.
protected java.io.FileOutputStream	fos Null if not open, else used to access the underlying file.
protected java.lang.String	lastFileName The name of the file we last wrote to or null if we haven't written to one yet.
protected java.lang.String	namePattern The original name pattern passed in.
protected java.io.File	parentDir The parent directory to create files in.

Constructor Summary

DatedFileOutputStream(java.lang.String namePattern)
Create a new DatedFileOutputStream using the current directory and the given file name pattern.

DatedFileOutputStream(java.lang.String parentPath, java.lang.String namePattern, boolean append)
Create a new DatedFileOutputStream using the given parent directory and the given file name pattern.

Method Summary

void	close() Close the stream.
void	flush() Flush the stream.
void	write(byte[] buf, int off, int len) Write the given sub-array to the file.
void	write(int b) Write the given int to the file.

Field Detail

lastFileName

protected java.lang.String lastFileName

The name of the file we last wrote to or null if we haven't written to one yet.

namePattern

protected java.lang.String namePattern

The original name pattern passed in.

dateFormat

protected java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateFormat

The SimpleDateFormat makes it easy to produce the pattern string, the actual name pattern is passed right to it.

fos

protected java.io.FileOutputStream fos

Null if not open, else used to access the underlying file.

Note: I've noticed that if a file is deleted or renamed while open no exception is thrown at least on Solaris 2.6. Perhaps this should periodically (writes > 30,000 millis apart?) close and reopen the FileWriter. And maybe a OS person could explain this strange behavior and how to avoid it!

append

protected boolean append

True if we are to open files in append mode.

parentDir

protected java.io.File parentDir

The parent directory to create files in. If null, use current directory.

Constructor Detail

DatedFileOutputStream

public DatedFileOutputStream(java.lang.String parentPath,
                             java.lang.String namePattern,
                             boolean append)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Create a new DatedFileOutputStream using the given parent directory and the given file name pattern.

Parameters:

parentPath - The parent directory to create files in. If null, use current directory.

namePattern - A String formatted for direct use by SimpleDateFormat to make the file name.

append - Set to true to append to a pre-existing log, false to overwrite.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

DatedFileOutputStream

public DatedFileOutputStream(java.lang.String namePattern)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Use the current directory, appending to the file if it exists.

Parameters:

namePattern - A String formatted for direct use by SimpleDateFormat to make the file name.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
