clone back to summary

clone	back to summary
public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException Overrides java.lang.Object.clone. Doc from java.lang.Object.clone. Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object `x`, the expression: x.clone() != x will be true, and that the expression: x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass() will be `true`, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that: x.clone().equals(x) will be `true`, this is not an absolute requirement. By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling `super.clone`. If a class and all of its superclasses (except `Object`) obey this convention, it will be the case that `x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()`. By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by `super.clone` before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by `super.clone` need to be modified. Returns:Object a clone of this instance. Annotations @Override Exceptions CloneNotSupportedException: if the object's class does not support the `Cloneable` interface. Subclasses that override the `clone` method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.

public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides java.lang.Object.clone.

Doc from java.lang.Object.clone.

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any object x, the expression:

x.clone() != x

will be true, and that the expression:

x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()

will be true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:

x.clone().equals(x)

will be true, this is not an absolute requirement.

By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.

Returns:Object

a clone of this instance.

Exceptions

CloneNotSupportedException:: if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.

getContent back to summary

getContent	back to summary
public InputStream getContent() throws IOException Implements org.apache.http.HttpEntity.getContent. Doc from org.apache.http.HttpEntity.getContent. Returns a content stream of the entity. `Repeatable` entities are expected to create a new instance of `InputStream` for each invocation of this method and therefore can be consumed multiple times. Entities that are not `repeatable` are expected to return the same `InputStream` instance and therefore may not be consumed more than once. Important Note Please note all entity implementations must ensure that all allocated resources are properly deallocated after the `InputStream#close()` method is invoked. Returns:InputStream content stream of the entity. Annotations @Override Exceptions IOException: if the stream could not be created

public long getContentLength() Implements org.apache.http.HttpEntity.getContentLength. Doc from org.apache.http.HttpEntity.getContentLength. Tells the length of the content, if known. Returns:long the number of bytes of the content, or a negative number if unknown. If the content length is known but exceeds `Long.MAX_VALUE`, a negative number is returned. Annotations @Override
