ExpandProperties

public ExpandProperties(java.io.Reader in)
Creates a new filtered reader.

Parameters:
in - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.
Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException
Returns the next character in the filtered stream. The original stream is first read in fully, and the Ant properties are expanded. The results of this expansion are then queued so they can be read character-by-character.

Overrides:
read in class java.io.FilterReader
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 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
