Class that can be used to wrap System.out and System.err without getting anxious about any client closing the stream.

In code-language it means that it is not necessary to do:

if (out != System.out && out != System.err) {
  out.close();
}

public class KeepAliveOutputStream extends FilterOutputStream {
Constructor of KeepAliveOutputStream.
Params:
  • out – an OutputStream value, it should be standard output.
/** * Constructor of KeepAliveOutputStream. * * @param out an OutputStream value, it should be standard output. */
public KeepAliveOutputStream(OutputStream out) { super(out); }
This method does nothing.
Throws:
  • IOException – as we are overriding FilterOutputStream.
/** * This method does nothing. * @throws IOException as we are overriding FilterOutputStream. */
