Method Detail

getInputStream

java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                            throws java.io.IOException

Gets an input stream which returns the binary of the embedded data.

Returns:

the input stream which will contain the binary of the embedded data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getOutputStream

java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                              throws java.io.IOException

Returns:

the object data as stream (for writing)

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getBytes

default byte[] getBytes()
                 throws java.io.IOException

Convenience method to get the embedded data as byte array.

Returns:

the embedded data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

hasDirectoryEntry

default boolean hasDirectoryEntry()

Returns:

does this ObjectData have an associated POIFS Directory Entry? (Not all do, those that don't have a data portion)

getDirectory

default DirectoryEntry getDirectory()
                             throws java.io.IOException

Gets the object data. Only call for ones that have data though. See hasDirectoryEntry(). The caller has to close the corresponding POIFSFileSystem

Returns:

the object data as an OLE2 directory.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there was an error reading the data.

getOLE2ClassName

java.lang.String getOLE2ClassName()

Returns:

the OLE2 Class Name of the object

getFileName

java.lang.String getFileName()

Returns:

a filename suggestion - inspecting/interpreting the Directory object probably gives a better result
