Method Details

read

public BratDocument read()
                  throws IOException

Description copied from interface: ObjectStream

Returns the next ObjectStream object. Calling this method repeatedly until it returns null will return each object from the underlying source exactly once.

Specified by:

read in interface ObjectStream<BratDocument>

Returns:

The next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted.

Throws:

IOException - Thrown if there is an error during reading.

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: ObjectStream

Repositions the stream at the beginning and the previously seen object sequence will be repeated exactly. This method can be used to re-read the stream if multiple passes over the objects are required.

The implementation of this method is optional.

Specified by:

reset in interface ObjectStream<BratDocument>

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: ObjectStream

Closes the ObjectStream and releases all allocated resources. After close was called, it's not allowed to call ObjectStream.read() or ObjectStream.reset().

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable
