Mario Ivankovits resolved VFS-99. --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed > Changes in interface RandomAccessContent. > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: VFS-99 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-99 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: Elifarley Callado Coelho > > I think the interface RandomAccessContent should not extend DataOutput nor > DataInput; > Instead, it could declare the following new methods: > 1) int read(byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException; > 2) void write(byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException; > > 3) int pread(long pos, byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException; > 4) void pwrite(long pos, byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException; > Instead of changing this interface, a new one could be created > (RandomAccessStream, maybe). > Benefits: > Currently, if a class implements this interface, it has to implement method > "skipBytes", which is redundant since it already implements method "seek". > It also has to implement 14 methods related to reading, which is also > redundant since they can be expressed in terms of specific calls to more > primitive methods such as those proposed above. > In other words, I don't think different classes implementing > RandomAccessContent (or RandomAccessStream) should all implement methods > "readShort", "readInt"", "readLong", etc, since all implementations of them > will be the same, if they are expressed in terms of calls to read(byte b[], > int off, int len). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
