Class RecordFactoryInputStream

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactoryInputStream

public final class RecordFactoryInputStream
extends java.lang.Object

A stream based way to get at complete records, with as low a memory footprint as possible. This handles reading from a RecordInputStream, turning the data into full records, processing continue records etc. Most users should use HSSFEventFactory / HSSFListener and have new records pushed to them, but this does allow for a "pull" style of coding.

RecordFactoryInputStream

public RecordFactoryInputStream(java.io.InputStream in,
                                boolean shouldIncludeContinueRecords)

Parameters:

in - the InputStream to read from

shouldIncludeContinueRecords - caller can pass false if loose ContinueRecords should be skipped (this is sometimes useful in event based processing).

nextRecord

public Record nextRecord()

Returns:

the next (complete) record from the stream, or null if there are no more.
