# Class ProxyOutputStream

java.lang.Object
java.io.OutputStream
java.io.FilterOutputStream
org.apache.commons.io.output.ProxyOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `Flushable`, `AutoCloseable`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `CloseShieldOutputStream`, `CountingOutputStream`, `TaggedOutputStream`, `TeeOutputStream`

public class ProxyOutputStream extends FilterOutputStream
A Proxy stream which acts as expected, that is it passes the method calls on to the proxied stream and doesn't change which methods are being called. It is an alternative base class to FilterOutputStream to increase reusability.

See the protected methods for ways in which a subclass can easily decorate a stream with custom pre-, post- or error processing functionality.

  - ### ProxyOutputStream

    public ProxyOutputStream(OutputStream proxy)
    Constructs a new ProxyOutputStream.
    Parameters:
      `proxy` - the OutputStream to delegate to

- ## Method Details

  - ### afterWrite

    protected void afterWrite(int n) throws IOException
    Invoked by the write methods after the proxied call has returned successfully. The number of bytes written (1 for the `write(int)` method, buffer length for `write(byte[])`, etc.) is given as an argument.

    Subclasses can override this method to add common post-processing functionality without having to override all the write methods. The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters:
      `n` - number of bytes written
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if the post-processing fails
    Since:
      2.0

  - ### beforeWrite

    protected void beforeWrite(int n) throws IOException
    Invoked by the write methods before the call is proxied. The number of bytes to be written (1 for the `write(int)` method, buffer length for `write(byte[])`, etc.) is given as an argument.

    Subclasses can override this method to add common pre-processing functionality without having to override all the write methods. The default implementation does nothing.

    Parameters:
      `n` - number of bytes to be written
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if the pre-processing fails
    Since:
      2.0

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Invokes the delegate's `close()` method.
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Overrides:
      `close` in class `FilterOutputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### flush

    public void flush() throws IOException
    Invokes the delegate's `flush()` method.
    Specified by:
      `flush` in interface `Flushable`
    Overrides:
      `flush` in class `FilterOutputStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### handleIOException

    protected void handleIOException(IOException e) throws IOException
    Handle any IOExceptions thrown.

    This method provides a point to implement custom exception handling. The default behavior is to re-throw the exception.

    Parameters:
      `e` - The IOException thrown
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
    Since:
      2.0

  - ### write

    public void write(byte[] bts) throws IOException
    Invokes the delegate's `write(byte[])` method.
    Overrides:
      `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
    Parameters:
      `bts` - the bytes to write
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### write

    public void write(byte[] bts, int st, int end) throws IOException
    Invokes the delegate's `write(byte[])` method.
    Overrides:
      `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
    Parameters:
      `bts` - the bytes to write
      `st` - The start offset
      `end` - The number of bytes to write
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

  - ### write

    public void write(int idx) throws IOException
    Invokes the delegate's `write(int)` method.
    Overrides:
      `write` in class `FilterOutputStream`
    Parameters:
      `idx` - the byte to write
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
