Method Detail

write

OutputStream write()
            throws IOException

Returns the OutputStream stream of the resource, if exists, it will replace the existing content, or if not exists, the resource will be created. The stream should be closed by caller, otherwise resource leaks might be introduced. How and when content is written is left to implementation, but it is guaranteed that this method is called only once, and will be followed by Closeable.close() on the resource itself. Implementation does not have to be "read consistent", in a way to worry what subsequent ResourceHandler.Resource.read() method will return, as mixed calls will not happen on same instance of resource.

Throws:

IOException
