CodingErrorAction

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• CodingErrorAction is a type-safe enum used to specify how charset encoders and decoders handle malformed input and unmappable character errors.

• It provides three predefined actions: IGNORE, REPLACE, and REPORT.

• IGNORE drops the erroneous input and continues, REPLACE substitutes it with a replacement value, and REPORT throws an exception or returns a CoderResult object.

• These actions help in managing encoding and decoding errors during character set conversions.

public class CodingErrorAction extends Object

A typesafe enumeration for coding-error actions.

Instances of this class are used to specify how malformed-input and unmappable-character errors are to be handled by charset decoders and encoders.

Field Summary

public static final CodingErrorAction	IGNORE	Action indicating that a coding error is to be handled by dropping the erroneous input and resuming the coding operation.
public static final CodingErrorAction	REPLACE	Action indicating that a coding error is to be handled by dropping the erroneous input, appending the coder's replacement value to the output buffer, and resuming the coding operation.
public static final CodingErrorAction	REPORT	Action indicating that a coding error is to be reported, either by returning a CoderResult object or by throwing a CharacterCodingException, whichever is appropriate for the method implementing the coding process.

Public Method Summary

String

toString() Returns a string describing this action.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object.
