All Implemented Interfaces:

Blob, WritableBlob
```
public class OverflowBlob
extends Object
implements WritableBlob
```
Deprecated.
Use OverflowableBlob instead.

Blob implementation that stores data in a temporary file if the size exceeds a configurable threshold. The data is first stored into a fixed size buffer. Once this buffer overflows, it is transferred to a temporary file. The buffer is divided into a given number of fixed size chunks that are allocated on demand. Since a temporary file may be created it is mandatory to call release() to discard the blob.

    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: WritableBlob
    
    Determine whether the blob supports reading in state NEW or UNCOMMITTED. If this method returns false and the blob is in state NEW or UNCOMMITTED, any call to a method defined by the Blob superinterface will result in an IllegalStateException. If this method returns true, then any data written to the blob will be immediately available for reading. This is also true for an input stream obtained from Blob.getInputStream() before the data is written. This implies that it is possible for the input stream to first report the end of the stream and later allow reading additional data. Therefore, a pair of streams obtained from WritableBlob.getOutputStream() and Blob.getInputStream() behaves differently than a PipedOutputStream and PipedInputStream pair, because in this situation PipedInputStream would block.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isSupportingReadUncommitted in interface WritableBlob
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the blob allows reading the data in state NEW or UNCOMMITTED; false if the blob allows read operations only in state COMMITTED
  - getOutputStream
```
public BlobOutputStream getOutputStream()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: WritableBlob
    Create an output stream to write data to the blob.
    Precondition: The blob is in state NEW.
    Postcondition: The blob is in state UNCOMMITTED.
    Note that the pre- and postconditions imply that this method may be called at most once for a given blob instance.
    Calls to methods of the returned output stream will modify the state of the blob according to the following rules:
    
    A call to OutputStream.close() will change the state to COMMITTED.
    Calls to other methods will not modify the state of the blob. They will result in an IOException if the state is COMMITTED, i.e. if the stream has already been closed.
    Specified by:
    
    getOutputStream in interface WritableBlob
    
    Returns:
    
    an output stream that can be used to write data to the blob
  - readFrom
```
public long readFrom(InputStream in,
                     long length,
                     boolean commit)
              throws org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: WritableBlob
    Read data from the given input stream and write it to the blob.
    A call to this method has the same effect as requesting an output stream using WritableBlob.getOutputStream() and copying the data from the input stream to that output stream, but the implementation will achieve this result in a more efficient way.
    Precondition: The blob is in state NEW or UNCOMMITTED.
    Postcondition: The blob is in state UNCOMMITTED if commit is false. It is in state COMMITTED if commit is true.
    The precondition implies that this method may be used after a call to WritableBlob.getOutputStream(). In that case it is illegal to set commit to true (because this would invalidate the state of the output stream).
    The method transfers data from the input stream to the blob until one of the following conditions is met:
    
    The end of the input stream is reached.
    The value of the length argument is different from -1 and the number of bytes transferred is equal to length.
    Specified by:
    
    readFrom in interface WritableBlob
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - An input stream to read data from. This method will not close the stream.
    
    length - the number of bytes to transfer, or -1 if the method should transfer data until the end of the input stream is reached
    
    commit - indicates whether the blob should be in state COMMITTED after the operation
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes transferred
    
    Throws:
    
    org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException
  - readFrom
```
public long readFrom(InputStream in,
                     long length)
              throws org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: WritableBlob
    Read data from the given input stream and write it to the blob.
    This method is similar to WritableBlob.readFrom(InputStream, long, boolean), except that the state of the blob after the invocation (i.e. the commit argument) is determined automatically:
    
    State transitions
    
    Precondition (state) Postcondition (state)
    
    NEW COMMITTED
    
    UNCOMMITTED UNCOMMITTED
    
    COMMITTED illegal
    
    There are thus two usage patterns for this method:
    
    The method is used to fill the blob with the data from an input stream, but no other data is written to the blob.
    The method is used in parallel with the output stream returned by WritableBlob.getOutputStream(): some data is written using the output stream and some data is written using this method (for efficiency reasons).
    Specified by:
    
    readFrom in interface WritableBlob
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - An input stream to read data from. This method will not close the stream.
    
    length - the number of bytes to transfer, or -1 if the method should transfer data until the end of the input stream is reached
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes transferred
    
    Throws:
    
    org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException
  - getInputStream
```
public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: Blob
    
    Get an input stream to read the data in the blob.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getInputStream in interface Blob
    
    Returns:
    
    the input stream to read the data from
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - writeTo
```
public void writeTo(OutputStream out)
             throws org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: Blob
    
    Write the data to a given output stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeTo in interface Blob
    
    Parameters:
    
    out - The output stream to write the data to. This method will not close the stream.
    
    Throws:
    
    org.apache.axiom.ext.io.StreamCopyException - Thrown if there is an I/O when reading the data from the blob or when writing it to the stream. StreamCopyException.getOperation() can be used to determine whether the failed operation was a read or a write.
  - getLength
```
public long getLength()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: Blob
    
    Get the length of the data in the blob, i.e. the number of bytes.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLength in interface Blob
    
    Returns:
    
    the length of the data in the blob
