public class CoderResult extends Object
A description of the result state of a coder.A charset coder, that is, either a decoder or an encoder, consumes bytes (or characters) from an input buffer, translates them, and writes the resulting characters (or bytes) to an output buffer. A coding process terminates for one of four categories of reasons, which are described by instances of this class:
Underflow is reported when there is no more input to be processed, or there is insufficient input and additional input is required. This condition is represented by the unique result object
UNDERFLOW
, whoseisUnderflow
method returns true.Overflow is reported when there is insufficient room remaining in the output buffer. This condition is represented by the unique result object
OVERFLOW
, whoseisOverflow
method returns true.A malformed-input error is reported when a sequence of input units is not well-formed. Such errors are described by instances of this class whose
isMalformed
method returns true and whoselength
method returns the length of the malformed sequence. There is one unique instance of this class for all malformed-input errors of a given length.An unmappable-character error is reported when a sequence of input units denotes a character that cannot be represented in the output charset. Such errors are described by instances of this class whose
isUnmappable
method returns true and whoselength
method returns the length of the input sequence denoting the unmappable character. There is one unique instance of this class for all unmappable-character errors of a given length.
For convenience, the
isError
method returns true for result objects that describe malformed-input and unmappable-character errors but false for those that describe underflow or overflow conditions.- Since:
