Class CoderResult
java.lang.Object
java.nio.charset.CoderResult
public class CoderResult - extends Object
A description of the result state of a coder.
A charset coder, that is, either a decoder or an encoder, consumes bytes
(or characters) from an input buffer, translates them, and writes the
resulting characters (or bytes) to an output buffer. A coding process
terminates for one of four categories of reasons, which are described by
instances of this class:
Underflow is reported when there is no more input to be
processed, or there is insufficient input and additional input is
required. This condition is represented by the unique result object
UNDERFLOW , whose isUnderflow method
returns true.
Overflow is reported when there is insufficient room
remaining in the output buffer. This condition is represented by the
unique result object OVERFLOW , whose isOverflow method returns true.
A malformed-input error is reported when a sequence of
input units is not well-formed. Such errors are described by instances of
this class whose isMalformed method returns
true and whose length method returns the length
of the malformed sequence. There is one unique instance of this class for
all malformed-input errors of a given length.
An unmappable-character error is reported when a sequence
of input units denotes a character that cannot be represented in the
output charset. Such errors are described by instances of this class
whose isUnmappable method returns true and
whose length method returns the length of the input
sequence denoting the unmappable character. There is one unique instance
of this class for all unmappable-character errors of a given length.
For convenience, the isError method returns true
for result objects that describe malformed-input and unmappable-character
errors but false for those that describe underflow or overflow
conditions.

Field Summary |
static CoderResult |
OVERFLOW
Result object indicating overflow, meaning that there is insufficient
room in the output buffer. |
static CoderResult |
UNDERFLOW
Result object indicating underflow, meaning that either the input buffer
has been completely consumed or, if the input buffer is not yet empty,
that additional input is required. |

that additional input is required.
OVERFLOW
public static final CoderResult OVERFLOW

- Returns:
- true if, and only if, this object denotes overflow
isError
public boolean isError()
- Tells whether or not this object describes an error condition.
- Returns:
- true if, and only if, this object denotes either a
malformed-input error or an unmappable-character error
isMalformed
public boolean isMalformed()
- Tells whether or not this object describes a malformed-input error.
- Returns:
- true if, and only if, this object denotes a
malformed-input error
isUnmappable
public boolean isUnmappable()
- Tells whether or not this object describes an unmappable-character
error.
- Returns:
- true if, and only if, this object denotes an
unmappable-character error
length
public int length()
- Returns the length of the erroneous input described by this
object (optional operation).
- Returns:
- The length of the erroneous input, a positive integer
- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - If this object does not describe an error condition, that is,
if the isError does not return true
malformedForLength
public static CoderResult malformedForLength(int length)
- Static factory method that returns the unique object describing a
malformed-input error of the given length.
- Returns:
- The requested coder-result object
unmappableForLength
public static CoderResult unmappableForLength(int length)
- Static factory method that returns the unique result object describing
an unmappable-character error of the given length.
- Returns:
- The requested coder-result object
throwException
public void throwException()
throws CharacterCodingException
- Throws an exception appropriate to the result described by this object.
- Throws:
BufferUnderflowException - If this object is UNDERFLOW
BufferOverflowException - If this object is OVERFLOW
MalformedInputException - If this object represents a malformed-input error; the
exception's length value will be that of this object
UnmappableCharacterException - If this object represents an unmappable-character error; the
exceptions length value will be that of this object
