Should be simple.

Im trying to make genuine use of the "seek" method in RandomFileAccess,

Would the getPosistion within this class be a valid marker for the current posistion? (As you may as already geuss Im here because It isnt)

Code :

---

package org.name.cache;
 
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
 
public class EXPOutStream extends DataOutputStream {
 
	private int posistion;
 
	public EXPOutStream(OutputStream out) {
		super(out);
	}
 
	public int getPosistion() {
		return posistion;
	}
 
	@Override
	public synchronized void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException {
		super.write(b, off, len);
		setPosistion(getPosistion() + len);
	}
 
	public void setPosistion(int posistion) {
		this.posistion = posistion;
	}
 
}

---

Anyone know what the correct method would be?

Wouldn't it be something more like this?

Code :

---

setPosistion(off + len);

---

As I understand the off variable is the offset of where to start your writing, or?

// Json

Yes the off is offset from within the actual byte array you begin off, the len is the actual length you base off of that,

The method within the actual DatainputStream would look simular to this:

Code :

---

       for (int i = 0; i <  length; i++) {
            write(buffer[offset + i]);
        }

---

so the l is still the amount of actual bytes being written

So me saying

Code :

---

setPosistion(getPosistion() + len);

---

Is basically adding the current position plus the number of bytes being written (len)

Just not understanding whats wrong with it.

Haha fixed didn't relize there was a field "written" within the datainputstream.

Thanks JSon for your attempt anyway.

Yeah I had a hunch there'd already be data in there so you'd have to offset that. Good stuff :D
