Method Detail

getStream

OutputStream getStream()

This method gets the wrapped stream. After this stream is completely written and closed, the metadata can be retrieved. This requires that the entire data is written and no existing data is appended via the original stream. This method is a simple getter - it will always return the same stream object.

Returns:

the wrapper stream.
