Class VoidOutputFilter

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.coyote.http11.filters.VoidOutputFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  OutputFilter, OutputBuffer

    public class VoidOutputFilter

extends java.lang.Object
implements OutputFilter

Void output filter, which silently swallows bytes written. Used with a 204 status (no content) or a HEAD request.

Author:

Field Summary
`protected OutputBuffer` | `buffer` Next buffer in the pipeline.
`protected static ByteChunk` | `ENCODING`
`protected static java.lang.String` | `ENCODING_NAME`

Constructor Summary
`VoidOutputFilter()`

Method Summary
`int` | `doWrite(ByteChunk chunk, Response res)` Write some bytes.
`long` | `end()` End the current request.
`ByteChunk` | `getEncodingName()` Return the name of the associated encoding; Here, the value is "identity".
`void` | `recycle()` Make the filter ready to process the next request.
`void` | `setBuffer(OutputBuffer buffer)` Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.
`void` | `setResponse(Response response)` Some filters need additional parameters from the response.

### ENCODING

    protected static final ByteChunk ENCODING

### buffer

    protected OutputBuffer buffer

  Next buffer in the pipeline.

Constructor Detail

### VoidOutputFilter

    public VoidOutputFilter()

Method Detail

### doWrite

    public int doWrite(ByteChunk chunk,
                       Response res)
                throws java.io.IOException

  Write some bytes.

  Specified by:
    `doWrite` in interface `OutputFilter`
  Specified by:
    `doWrite` in interface `OutputBuffer`
  Parameters:
    `chunk` - data to write
    `res` - used to allow buffers that can be shared by multiple responses.
  Returns:
    number of bytes written by the filter
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### setResponse

    public void setResponse(Response response)

  Some filters need additional parameters from the response. All the necessary reading can occur in that method, as this method is called after the response header processing is complete.

  Specified by:
    `setResponse` in interface `OutputFilter`

### setBuffer

    public void setBuffer(OutputBuffer buffer)

  Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.

  Specified by:
    `setBuffer` in interface `OutputFilter`

### recycle

    public void recycle()

  Make the filter ready to process the next request.

  Specified by:
    `recycle` in interface `OutputFilter`

### getEncodingName

    public ByteChunk getEncodingName()

  Return the name of the associated encoding; Here, the value is "identity".

  Specified by:
    `getEncodingName` in interface `OutputFilter`

### end

    public long end()
             throws java.io.IOException

  End the current request. It is acceptable to write extra bytes using buffer.doWrite during the execution of this method.

  Specified by:
    `end` in interface `OutputFilter`
  Returns:
    Should return 0 unless the filter does some content length delimitation, in which case the number is the amount of extra bytes or missing bytes, which would indicate an error. Note: It is recommended that extra bytes be swallowed by the filter.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
