Retrieve or display the information requested in the
provided Callbacks.
The handle
method implementation checks the
instance(s) of the Callback
object(s) passed in
to retrieve or display the requested information.
The following example is provided to help demonstrate what an
handle
method implementation might look like.
This example code is for guidance only. Many details,
including proper error handling, are left out for simplicity.
public void handle(Callback[] callbacks)
throws IOException, UnsupportedCallbackException {
for (int i = 0; i < callbacks.length; i++) {
if (callbacks[i] instanceof TextOutputCallback) {
// display the message according to the specified type
TextOutputCallback toc = (TextOutputCallback)callbacks[i];
switch (toc.getMessageType()) {
case TextOutputCallback.INFORMATION:
System.out.println(toc.getMessage());
break;
case TextOutputCallback.ERROR:
System.out.println("ERROR: " + toc.getMessage());
break;
case TextOutputCallback.WARNING:
System.out.println("WARNING: " + toc.getMessage());
break;
default:
throw new IOException("Unsupported message type: " +
toc.getMessageType());
}
} else if (callbacks[i] instanceof NameCallback) {
// prompt the user for a username
NameCallback nc = (NameCallback)callbacks[i];
// ignore the provided defaultName
System.err.print(nc.getPrompt());
System.err.flush();
nc.setName((new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(System.in))).readLine());
} else if (callbacks[i] instanceof PasswordCallback) {
// prompt the user for sensitive information
PasswordCallback pc = (PasswordCallback)callbacks[i];
System.err.print(pc.getPrompt());
System.err.flush();
pc.setPassword(readPassword(System.in));
} else {
throw new UnsupportedCallbackException
(callbacks[i], "Unrecognized Callback");
}
}
}
// Reads user password from given input stream.
private char[] readPassword(InputStream in) throws IOException {
// insert code to read a user password from the input stream
}
