javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

public abstract class ServletOutputStream
extends OutputStream

Provides an output stream for sending binary data to the client. A ServletOutputStream object is normally retrieved via the ServletResponse.getOutputStream() method.

This is an abstract class that the servlet container implements. Subclasses of this class must implement the java.io.OutputStream.write(int) method.

isReady

public abstract boolean isReady()

This method can be used to determine if data can be written without blocking.

Returns:

true if a write to this ServletOutputStream will succeed, otherwise returns false.
