47 /**
48 * This is the common superclass of all standard classes that filter
49 * input. It acts as a layer on top of an underlying <code>InputStream</code>
50 * and simply redirects calls made to it to the subordinate InputStream
51 * instead. Subclasses of this class perform additional filtering
52 * functions in addition to simply redirecting the call.
53 * <p>
54 * This class is not abstract. However, since it only redirects calls
55 * to a subordinate <code>InputStream</code> without adding any functionality
56 * on top of it, this class should not be used directly. Instead, various
57 * subclasses of this class should be used. This is enforced with a
58 * protected constructor. Do not try to hack around it.
59 * <p>
60 * When creating a subclass of <code>FilterInputStream</code>, override the
61 * appropriate methods to implement the desired filtering. However, note
62 * that the <code>read(byte[])</code> method does not need to be overridden
63 * as this class redirects calls to that method to
64 * <code>read(byte[], int, int)</code> instead of to the subordinate
65 * <code>InputStream read(byte[])</code> method.
