Method Detail

setUpOutputFile

public static void setUpOutputFile(File file,
                   boolean restarted,
                   boolean append,
                   boolean overwriteOutputFile)

Set up output file for batch processing. This method implements common logic for handling output files when starting or restarting file I/O. When starting output file processing, creates/overwrites new file. When restarting output file processing, checks whether file is writable.

Parameters:

file - file to be set up

restarted - true signals that we are restarting output file processing

append - true signals input file may already exist (but doesn't have to)

overwriteOutputFile - If set to true, output file will be overwritten (this flag is ignored when processing is restart)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when file is null

ItemStreamException - when starting output file processing, file exists and flag "overwriteOutputFile" is set to false

ItemStreamException - when unable to create file or file is not writable

setUpOutputFile

public static void setUpOutputFile(File file,
                   boolean restarted,
                   boolean overwriteOutputFile)

Deprecated. use the version with explicit append parameter instead. Here append=false is assumed.

createNewFile

public static boolean createNewFile(File file)
                             throws IOException

Create a new file if it doesn't already exist.

Parameters:

file - the file to create on the filesystem

Throws:

IOException
