Class DynamicBuffer

java.lang.Object

com.maverick.util.DynamicBuffer

public class DynamicBuffer
extends Object

This class provides an alternative method of storing data, used within the API where Piped Streams could have been used. We found that Piped streams would lock if a thread attempted to read to data when the OutputStream attached was not being read; since we have no control over when the user will actually read the data, this behaviour led us to develop this dynamic buffer which will automatically grow if the buffer is full.
