Class TeeOutputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.OutputStream
      nl.knowledgeplaza.util.io.TeeOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable

public class TeeOutputStream
extends OutputStream

This class mirrors output between two streams. One sample usage of this is: (with no regard to exceptions);

 // setup a log file 
 FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("datafile");

 // setup a TeeOutputStream for that file and standard out.
 TeeOutputStream teeOut = new TeeOutputStream(System.out, fout);

 // Wrap the output stream in a PrintStream for added functionality 
 PrintStream loggedOutput = new PrintStream(teeOut);

 // reset standard out to our new tee'd stream set
 System.setOut(loggedOutput);

 // print to both underlying output streams 
 System.out.println("Hello there");
