        Returns the wrapped representation.
        Returns:
        The wrapped representation.

      • isAvailable

        public boolean isAvailable()
        Description copied from class: Representation
        Indicates if some fresh content is potentially available, without having to actually call one of the content manipulation method like getStream() that would actually consume it. Note that when the size of a representation is 0 is a not considered available. However, sometimes the size isn't known until a read attempt is made, so availability doesn't guarantee a non empty content.

        This is especially useful for transient representation whose content can only be accessed once and also when the size of the representation is not known in advance.
        Overrides:
        isAvailable in class Representation
        Returns:
        True if some fresh content is available.

      • isTransient

        public boolean isTransient()
        Description copied from class: Representation
        Indicates if the representation's content is transient, which means that it can be obtained only once. This is often the case with representations transmitted via network sockets for example. In such case, if you need to read the content several times, you need to cache it first, for example into memory or into a file.
        Overrides:
        isTransient in class Representation
        Returns:
        True if the representation's content is transient.

      • release

        public void release()
        Description copied from class: Representation
        Releases the representation and all associated objects like streams, channels or files which are used to produce its content, transient or not. This method must be systematically called when the representation is no longer intended to be used. The framework automatically calls back this method via its connectors on the server-side when sending responses with an entity and on the client-side when sending a request with an entity. By default, it calls the Representation.setAvailable(boolean) method with "false" as a value.

        Note that for transient socket-bound representations, calling this method after consuming the whole content shouldn't prevent the reuse of underlying socket via persistent connections for example. However, if the content hasn't been read, or has been partially read, the impact should be to discard the remaining content and to close the underlying connections.

        Therefore, if you are not interested in the content, or in the remaining content, you should first call the Representation.exhaust() method or if this could be too costly, you should instead explicitly abort the parent request and the underlying connections using the Request.abort() method or a shortcut one like ServerResource.abort() or Response.abort().
