Method Detail

read


public final int read()
               throws java.io.IOException

Returns:
the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

chain


public final java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)
Creates a new ExpandProperties filter using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

Specified by:
chain in interface ChainableReader
Parameters:
rdr - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.
Returns:
a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
