Follows The Java I/O Model

Uploaded by

dharan0007

This document discusses Java file input/output (I/O). It explains that Java file I/O follows the Java I/O model using input/output streams, readers, writers, buffered readers and writers. It describes how to get file information using the File class, and how to read from and write to files using file input/output streams, file readers/writers, and buffered readers. It also discusses writing and reading objects and serialization using object input/output streams. Sample code examples are provided to illustrate reading/writing text and serializing objects.

Java File I/O

Follows the Java I/O model.

you can't escape from:

InputStream and OutputStream

read/write bytes read/write characters read/write strings

Reader and Writer

BufferedReader and BufferedWriter

There are specialized versions of these object types that are used with files.
File I/O 1

Before we look at File I/O

File: a class that deals with the properties of files (not the contents of files).

file name and directory some generic attributes (java is OS independent!) the file length (number of bytes in the file).

A File object is used to get information about files (and directories/folders), but not to read from or write to files.

File I/O

Some File Methods


File( String pathname): constructor canRead(), canWrite(): checks permissions createNewFile(), delete() isDirectory(), isFile() length() listFiles(), list()
Sample Code: Listfiles.java
File I/O 3

Writing to a File

FileOutputStream: can write bytes.


f.write(22); f.close();

FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("foo");

FileWriter: can write characters and strings


f.write("Hello World\n"); f.close();
Sample Code: TextIOWrite.java
File I/O 4

FileWriter f = new FileWriter("foo");

Reading from a File

FileInputStream: can read bytes.


int x = f.read(); f.close();

FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("foo");

FileReader: can read characters


char buf[100]; f.read(buff,0,100);

FileReader f = new FileReader("foo");

File I/O

Reading strings from a file

You need a BufferedReader

provides method readLine()

BufferedReader fin = new BufferedReader( new FileReader("foo"));

String s = fin.readLine();

Sample Code: TextIOWrite.java


File I/O 6

Object Streams

Any serializable object can be written to and read from an object stream

can be used to save objects in a file for later use can also be used to exchange Java objects over a network (Interprocess Communication).

Recall that to make your own class serializable, you need to implement the interface Serializable.

unless you don't want a deep copy, you don't need to do anything special, just state that the class implements Serializable.
File I/O 7

Object Stream Classes

ObjectInputStream: allows you to read objects (serialized objects) from any byte stream.
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( new FileInputStream("foo")); Object huh = ois.readObject(); ObjectOutputStream: allows you to write objects to any byte stream.

ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream( new FileOutputStream("foo")); oos.writeObject(someobject);


File I/O 8

Sample Code

SerializeArgs: reads/writes an array of String (whatever it gets in args). SerializePlay: defines it's own serializable class and saves/restores an array of these objects. SerializePoly: defines a base class and some derived classes. Creates an array of these objects and serializes it saving to a file.
Poly-Poly-Poly-Polymorphism
