Java IO: FilterInputStream
Jakob Jenkov |
The FilterInputStream is a base class for implementing your own filtering input streams. Basically
it just overrides all methods in InputStream and passes all calls to any method on the
FilterInputStream onto a wrapped InputStream. The wrapped InputStream is
passed to the FilterInputStream in its constructor, like this:
FilterInputStream inputStream = new FilterInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\myfile.txt"));
The FilterInputStream class does not have any special behaviour. It is intended to be a base class
for your own subclasses, but in my opinion you might as well just subclass InputStream directly.
Personally, I see no sensible purpose for this class.
I cannot see that this class actually
adds or changes any behaviour in InputStream except that it takes an InputStream
in its constructor.
