Minor changes to
java.io
in Java SE 1.2
The following changes to package
java.io
were introduced in Java SE 1.2. Minor changes to this package were:
The
out
field of the
PrintWriter
class is now protected rather than private, so that subclasses may access it
The
RandomAccessFile
class supports a new
setLength
method; and
The
StringWriter(int)
constructor is now public.
The following constructors check for
null
input parameters:
The constructors
PrintStream(OutputStream out)
and
PrintStream(OutputStream out, boolean autoFlush)
will throw a
NullPointerException
if the parameter
out
is
null
.
The constructors
InputStreamReader(InputStream in)
and
InputStreamReader(InputStream in, String enc)
will throw a
NullPointerException
if the
in
parameter is
null
.
The constructors
OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream out)
and
OutputStreamWriter(OutputStream out, String enc)
will throw a
NullPointerException
if the
out
parameter is
null
.
The protected constructors
Reader(Object lock)
and
Writer(Object lock)
now throw
NullPointerException
if the
lock
parameter is
null
.
