DotTerminatedMessageWriter is a class used to write messages to a server that are terminated by a single dot followed by a <CR><LF> sequence and with double dots appearing at the begining of lines which do not signal end of message yet start with a dot. Various Internet protocols such as NNTP and POP3 produce messages of this type.

This class handles the doubling of line-starting periods, converts single linefeeds to NETASCII newlines, and on closing will send the final message terminator dot and NETASCII newline sequence.

Creates a DotTerminatedMessageWriter that wraps an existing Writer output destination.
Params:
  • output – The Writer output destination to write the message.

public DotTerminatedMessageWriter(Writer output) { super(output); __output = output; __state = __NOTHING_SPECIAL_STATE; }
Writes a character to the output. Note that a call to this method may result in multiple writes to the underling Writer in order to convert naked linefeeds to NETASCII line separators and to double line-leading periods. This is transparent to the programmer and is only mentioned for completeness.
Params:
  • ch – The character to write.
Throws:
  • IOException – If an error occurs while writing to the underlying output.

Writes a number of characters from a character array to the output starting from a given offset.
Params:
  • buffer – The character array to write.
  • offset – The offset into the array at which to start copying data.
  • length – The number of characters to write.
Throws:
  • IOException – If an error occurs while writing to the underlying output.

Writes a String to the output.

/*** * Writes a String to the output. * * @param string The String to write. * @throws IOException If an error occurs while writing to the underlying * output. ***/

Writes part of a String to the output starting from a given offset.
Params:

  • offset – The offset into the String at which to start copying data.
  • length – The number of characters to write.
Throws:
  • IOException – If an error occurs while writing to the underlying output.

@Override public void write(String string, int offset, int length) throws IOException { write(string.toCharArray(), offset, length); }
Flushes the underlying output, writing all buffered output.
Throws:
  • IOException – If an error occurs while writing to the underlying output.
/*** * Flushes the underlying output, writing all buffered output. * * @throws IOException If an error occurs while writing to the underlying * output. ***/
@Override public void flush() throws IOException { synchronized (lock) { __output.flush(); } }
Flushes the underlying output, writing all buffered output, but doesn't actually close the underlying stream. The underlying stream may still be used for communicating with the server and therefore is not closed.
Throws:
  • IOException – If an error occurs while writing to the underlying output or closing the Writer.
