public abstract class ImageInputStreamSpi extends IIOServiceProvider
ImageInputStreams. For more information on service
provider interfaces, see the class comment for the
IIORegistry class.
This interface allows arbitrary objects to be "wrapped" by
instances of ImageInputStream. For example,
a particular ImageInputStreamSpi might allow
a generic InputStream to be used as an input source;
another might take input from a URL.
By treating the creation of ImageInputStreams as a
pluggable service, it becomes possible to handle future input
sources without changing the API. Also, high-performance
implementations of ImageInputStream (for example,
native implementations for a particular platform) can be installed
and used transparently by applications.

ImageInputStreamSpi. It is up
to the subclass to initialize instance variables and/or
override method implementations in order to provide working
versions of all methods.public ImageInputStreamSpi(String vendorName, String version, Class<?> inputClass)
ImageInputStreamSpi with a given set

legal object type for use by the
createInputStreamInstance method.IllegalArgumentException - if vendorName
is null.IllegalArgumentException - if version
is null.public Class<?> getInputClass()
Class object representing the class or
interface type that must be implemented by an input source in
order to be "wrapped" in an ImageInputStream via
the createInputStreamInstance method.
Typical return values might include
InputStream.class or URL.class, but
any class may be used.
Class variable.createInputStreamInstance(Object, boolean, File)public boolean canUseCacheFile()
true if the ImageInputStream

optionally make use of a cache file for improved performance
and/or memory footrprint. If false, the value of

The default implementation returns false.

The default implementation returns false.
