createStream

public OutputStream createStream(List pkg,
                                 String className)
                          throws IOException

Creates a new output stream based on a provided package name and class name. Assumes that the data generated will be Java source code (e.g. creates FileOutputStream for a file with "java" extension). Calling this method has the same effect as calling createStream(List, String, String) with the last parameter set to EXT_JAVA.

Parameters:

pkg - Parsed package name.

className - Class name.

Returns:

Created stream, or null if nothing needs to be written for the class or interface.

Throws:

IOException - I/O error during stream creation.

createStream

public abstract OutputStream createStream(List pkg,
                                          String className,
                                          String extension)
                                   throws IOException

Creates a new output stream based on a provided package name, class name and extension for the returned stream should correspond to (e.g. EXT_CLASS to generate byte code or EXT_JAVA to generate source code). The stream factory can return null to indicate that nothing needs to be written for the given class or interface. For example, if the stream factory is able to determine that the destination file already exists and is up to date, then null could be returned so that the file is not needlessly rewritten.

Parameters:

pkg - Parsed package name.

className - Class name.

extension - The type of file that should be generated.

Returns:

Created stream, or null if nothing needs to be written for the class or interface.

Throws:

IOException - I/O error during stream creation.
