Detailed Description

A lightweight object that can create a stream to read some kind of resource.

This may be used to refer to a file, or some other kind of source, allowing a caller to create an input stream that can read from it when required.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

InputSource::InputSource ( )

virtual InputSource::~InputSource ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.

virtual InputStream* InputSource::createInputStream ( ) [pure virtual]

Returns a new InputStream to read this item.

Returns:: an inputstream that the caller will delete, or 0 if the filename isn't found.

Implemented in FileInputSource.

virtual InputStream* InputSource::createInputStreamFor ( const String & relatedItemPath ) [pure virtual]

Returns a new InputStream to read an item, relative.

Parameters:

relatedItemPath the relative pathname of the resource that is required

Returns:: an inputstream that the caller will delete, or 0 if the item isn't found.

Implemented in FileInputSource.

virtual int64 InputSource::hashCode ( ) const [pure virtual]

Returns a hash code that uniquely represents this item.

Implemented in FileInputSource.
