Interface DownloadTarget

All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseFileDownloadTarget, ByteArrayDownloadTarget, OutputStreamDownloadTarget, ServletResponseDownloadTarget
public interface DownloadTarget
Represents a local file or resource that is the target for a file that is about to be downloaded from a remote server. The download is initiated by calling AbstractSession.downloadFile(String, DownloadTarget) which will call getMetadata() first and populate this with as much information as it can get from the remote server. Then, the getOutputStream() is called and the file data is written to the returned stream.
