    CompressedResource

      public abstract class ContentTransformingResource
      extends ResourceDecorator

  A resource that transforms the content of another resource.

  Wraps around another resource, delegates all queries (except getSize) to that other resource but transforms stream content on the fly.

  Since:
    Ant 1.8

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ContentTransformingResource

          protected ContentTransformingResource()

      no arg constructor

    - #### ContentTransformingResource

          protected ContentTransformingResource(ResourceCollection other)

      Constructor with another resource to wrap.
      Parameters:
        `other` - the resource to wrap.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getSize

          public long getSize()

      Get the size of this Resource.
      Overrides:
        `getSize` in class `ResourceDecorator`
      Returns:
        the size, as a long, 0 if the Resource does not exist (for compatibility with java.io.File), or UNKNOWN_SIZE if not known.

    - #### getInputStream

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

      Get an InputStream for the Resource.
      Overrides:
        `getInputStream` in class `ResourceDecorator`
      Returns:
        an InputStream containing this Resource's content.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if unable to provide the content of this Resource as a stream.
        `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` - if InputStreams are not supported for this Resource type.

    - #### getOutputStream

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

      Get an OutputStream for the Resource.
      Overrides:
        `getOutputStream` in class `ResourceDecorator`
      Returns:
        an OutputStream to which content can be written.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if unable to provide the content of this Resource as a stream.
        `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` - if OutputStreams are not supported for this Resource type.

    - #### as

          public <T> T as(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)

      Suppress FileProvider, re-implement Appendable
      Overrides:
        `as` in class `ResourceDecorator`

    - #### isAppendSupported

          protected boolean isAppendSupported()

      Learn whether the transformation performed allows appends.

      In general compressed outputs will become invalid if they are appended to, for example.

      This implementations returns false.

    - #### wrapStream

          protected abstract java.io.InputStream wrapStream(java.io.InputStream in)
                                                     throws java.io.IOException

      Get a content-filtering/transforming InputStream.
      Parameters:
        `in` - InputStream to wrap, will never be null.
      Returns:
        a compressed inputstream.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if there is a problem.

    - #### wrapStream

          protected abstract java.io.OutputStream wrapStream(java.io.OutputStream out)
                                                      throws java.io.IOException

      Get a content-filtering/transforming OutputStream.
      Parameters:
        `out` - OutputStream to wrap, will never be null.
      Returns:
        a compressed outputstream.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if there is a problem.
