/**
 * This class extends {@link PrintService} and represents a print service that
 * prints data in different formats to a client-provided output stream. This is
 * principally intended for services where the output format is a document type
 * suitable for viewing or archiving. The output format must be declared as a
 * mime type. This is equivalent to an output document flavor where the
 * representation class is always "java.io.OutputStream" An instance of the
 * {@code StreamPrintService} class is obtained from a
 * {@link StreamPrintServiceFactory} instance.
 * 

* Note that a {@code StreamPrintService} is different from a * {@code PrintService}, which supports a * {@link javax.print.attribute.standard.Destination Destination} attribute. A * {@code StreamPrintService} always requires an output stream, whereas a * {@code PrintService} optionally accepts a {@code Destination}. A * {@code StreamPrintService} has no default destination for its formatted * output. Additionally a {@code StreamPrintService} is expected to generate * output in a format useful in other contexts. {@code StreamPrintService}'s are * not expected to support the {@code Destination} attribute. */ public abstract class StreamPrintService implements PrintService { /** * The output stream to which this service will send formatted print data. */ private OutputStream outStream; /** * Whether or not this {@code StreamPrintService} has been disposed. */ private boolean disposed = false; /** * Constructs a {@code StreamPrintService} object. */ private StreamPrintService() { }; /** * Constructs a {@code StreamPrintService} object. * * @param out stream to which to send formatted print data */ protected StreamPrintService(OutputStream out) { this.outStream = out; } /** * Gets the output stream. * * @return the stream to which this service will send formatted print data */ public OutputStream getOutputStream() { return outStream; } /** * Returns the document format emitted by this print service.
