Class DigestInputStream

Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable

public class DigestInputStream
extends FilterInputStream

DigestInputStream is a class that ties an InputStream with a MessageDigest. The Message Digest is used by the class to update it self as bytes are read from the InputStream. The updating to the digest depends on the on flag which is set to true by default to tell the class to update the data in the message digest.

Field Summary

protected MessageDigest
digest
The message digest for the DigestInputStream

getMessageDigest()
Returns the MessageDigest associated with this DigestInputStream
void
on(boolean on)
Sets the flag specifing if this DigestInputStream updates the digest in the write() methods.
int

Constructor Details

DigestInputStream

public DigestInputStream(InputStream stream,
                         MessageDigest digest)
Constructs a new DigestInputStream. It associates a MessageDigest with the stream to compute the stream as data is written.
Parameters:
stream - An InputStream to associate this stream with
digest - A MessageDigest to hash the stream with

Method Details

getMessageDigest

public MessageDigest getMessageDigest()
Returns the MessageDigest associated with this DigestInputStream
Returns:
The MessageDigest used to hash this stream

on

public void on(boolean on)
Sets the flag specifing if this DigestInputStream updates the digest in the write() methods. The default is on;
Parameters:
on - True means it digests stream, false means it does not

read

public int read()
            throws IOException
Reads a byte from the input stream and updates the digest. This method reads the underlying input stream and if the on flag is true then updates the message digest.
Overrides:
read in interface FilterInputStream
Returns:
Returns a byte from the input stream, -1 is returned to indicate that the end of stream was reached before this read call
Throws:
IOException - if an IO error occurs in the underlying input stream, this error is thrown

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
            throws IOException
Reads bytes from the input stream and updates the digest. This method reads the underlying input stream and if the on flag is true then updates the message digest.
Overrides:
read in interface FilterInputStream
Parameters:
b - a byte array to store the data from the input stream
off - an offset to start at in the array
len - length of data to read
Returns:
Returns count of bytes read, -1 is returned to indicate that the end of stream was reached before this read call
Throws:
IOException - if an IO error occurs in the underlying input stream, this error is thrown

setMessageDigest

public void setMessageDigest(MessageDigest digest)
Sets the current MessageDigest to current parameter
Parameters:
digest - A MessageDigest to associate with this stream

toString

public String toString()
Converts the input stream and underlying message digest to a string.
Overrides:
toString in interface Object
Returns:
A string representing the input stream and message digest.
