Package org.apache.axiom.blob

Contains utility classes to work with binary data. They are typically used to store data temporarily and often provide a better alternative than using ByteArrayOutputStream and ByteArrayInputStream.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Blob	Stores binary data.
MemoryBlob	Blob that stores data in memory.
OverflowableBlob	Blob that accumulates data in memory and transfers it to a different type of blob if the size exceeds a certain threshold.
WritableBlob	A writable blob.
WritableBlobFactory<T extends WritableBlob>	A factory for WritableBlob instances.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractWritableBlob	Partial implementation of the WritableBlob interface that implements WritableBlob.readFrom(InputStream) using WritableBlob.getOutputStream() and Blob.writeTo(OutputStream) using Blob.getInputStream().
BlobDataSource	Data source backed by a Blob.
Blobs	Contains factory methods to create various types of blobs.
MemoryBlobInputStream	Input stream that doesn't throw IOException and that supports InputStream.mark(int).
MemoryBlobOutputStream	Output stream that doesn't throw IOException and that implements ReadFromSupport.
