Interface OutputStreamLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:

InputStreamFactoryOutputStreamLoader

public interface OutputStreamLoader

This class gives some lifecycle to an OutputStream. There may be times (particularly with downloading files to browsers) when it is not clear if the data will ever be read. A call to load(OutputStream) is a signal that we really to want data now and that if any processing is needed, if should be done. A call to close() is a signal that whether or not getInputStream was called, the data is no longer required.
