StreamPrintService

Class Overview

This class extends PrintService and represents a print service that prints data in different formats to a client-provided output stream. This is principally intended for services where the output format is a document type suitable for viewing or archiving. The output format must be declared as a mime type. This is equivalent to an output document flavor where the representation class is always "java.io.OutputStream" An instance of the StreamPrintService class is obtained from a StreamPrintServiceFactory instance.

Note that a StreamPrintService is different from a PrintService, which supports a Destination attribute. A StreamPrintService always requires an output stream, whereas a PrintService optionally accepts a Destination. A StreamPrintService has no default destination for its formatted output. Additionally a StreamPrintService is expected to generate output in a format useful in other contexts. StreamPrintService's are not expected to support the Destination attribute.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface javax.print.PrintService abstract void addPrintServiceAttributeListener(PrintServiceAttributeListener listener) Registers a listener for events on this PrintService. abstract DocPrintJob createPrintJob() Creates and returns a PrintJob capable of handling data from any of the supported document flavors. abstract boolean equals(Object obj) Determines if two services are referring to the same underlying service. abstract <T extends PrintServiceAttribute> T getAttribute(Class<T> category) Gets the value of the single specified service attribute. abstract PrintServiceAttributeSet getAttributes() Obtains this print service's set of printer description attributes giving this Print Service's status. abstract Object getDefaultAttributeValue(Class<? extends Attribute> category) Determines this print service's default printing attribute value in the given category. abstract String getName() Returns a String name for this print service which may be used by applications to request a particular print service. abstract ServiceUIFactory getServiceUIFactory() Returns a factory for UI components which allow users to interact with the service in various roles. abstract Class[]<?> getSupportedAttributeCategories() Determines the printing attribute categories a client can specify when setting up a job for this print service. abstract Object getSupportedAttributeValues(Class<? extends Attribute> category, DocFlavor flavor, AttributeSet attributes) Determines the printing attribute values a client can specify in the given category when setting up a job for this print service. abstract DocFlavor[] getSupportedDocFlavors() Determines the print data formats a client can specify when setting up a job for this PrintService. abstract AttributeSet getUnsupportedAttributes(DocFlavor flavor, AttributeSet attributes) Identifies the attributes that are unsupported for a print request in the context of a particular DocFlavor. abstract int hashCode() This method should be implemented consistently with equals(Object). abstract boolean isAttributeCategorySupported(Class<? extends Attribute> category) Determines whether a client can specify the given printing attribute category when setting up a job for this print service. abstract boolean isAttributeValueSupported(Attribute attrval, DocFlavor flavor, AttributeSet attributes) Determines whether a client can specify the given printing attribute value when setting up a job for this Print Service. abstract boolean isDocFlavorSupported(DocFlavor flavor) Determines if this print service supports a specific DocFlavor. abstract void removePrintServiceAttributeListener(PrintServiceAttributeListener listener) Removes the print-service listener from this print service.
