Filtering Input
Back SMYC Forward
  • FilterInputStream
    • Parent of all filtered input streams
    • By default, performs a simple pass-thru
  • To Filter:
    • Use the protected InputStream in
    • Override: 
                    int read()
      
              int read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Filtering Output
Back SMYC Forward
  • FilterOutputStream
    • Parent of all filtered output streams
    • By default, performs a simple pass-thru
  • To Filter:
    • Use the protected OutputStream out
    • Override: 
                    void write(byte[] b, int off, int len
      
              void write(byte[] b)
