Method Detail

exportAsInputStream

InputStream exportAsInputStream()

Exports this reference in an implementation-specific format represented by the returned new InputStream instance

Returns:

A new InputStream to read the exported view

exportTo

void exportTo(OutputStream target)
              throws ArchiveExportException,
                     IllegalArgumentException

Exports provided archive in an implementation-specific format, written to the specified OutputStream target. The specified target will not be closed or flushed; this is the responsibility of the caller (who supplied the OutputStream in the first place).

Parameters:

target -

Throws:

ArchiveExportException

IllegalArgumentException - If the target is not specified or is closed

exportTo

void exportTo(File target)
              throws ArchiveExportException,
                     FileExistsException

Exports provided archive as in an implementation-specific format, written to the specified File target. If the target exists this call will fail with IllegalArgumentException

Parameters:

target -

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the target is not specified

FileExistsException - If the target already exists

ArchiveExportException - if the export process fails

exportTo

void exportTo(File target,
              boolean overwrite)
              throws ArchiveExportException,
                     FileExistsException

Exports provided archive an implementation-specific format, written to the specified File target. If the target both exists and the "overwrite" flag is true, this call will allow the existing file to be overwritten, else the invocation will fail with IllegalArgumentException

Parameters:

target -

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the target is not specified or is a directory

FileExistsException - If the target both already exists and the overwrite flag is false

ArchiveExportException - if the export process fails
