Mastering File Transfer in Java: Using Runnable Thread and PipedInputStream

In the world of Java programming, file manipulation is a common task, yet it can become complex, especially when dealing with threading and streaming data. If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to read from a file and simultaneously write to another - using streams and threads - you're not alone. Let's explore how to achieve this efficiently using Runnable Thread and PipedInputStream.

Understanding the Problem

The main goal here is to create a program that reads data from a source file and transmits it through a pipe to a sink file without any data loss or delays. This is typically managed using threading, where one thread can handle reading from the file and the other manages writing to the destination.

Given Code Overview

You might have encountered a piece of code like this:

Issues Encountered

In Ability to Read & Write: While the structure is set up, the code fails to read from the source file properly and write to the PipedOutputStream, which leads to confusion.

Closure of Streams: Properly managing the opening and closing of the streams is vital to avoid resource leakage.

Solution: Using Files API

After troubleshooting, the solution lies in leveraging Java's Files API which simplifies the reading from and writing to files:

Step 1: Modify the File In Transporter

Instead of the initial attempt to write a placeholder 0 to the PipedOutputStream, we should utilize:

This command allows you to read the contents of the source file directly and pipe it into the output stream, making it a clean and efficient transition.

Step 2: Adjust the File Out Transporter

The second Runnable for reading from the PipedInputStream and writing to the sink file can be updated as follows:

This ensures that all data read from the pipeline is correctly written to the destination file.

Final Implementation

Incorporating the complete changes, your threading code should look something like this:

Conclusion

Using the Runnable interface with PipedInputStream and PipedOutputStream in Java can initially seem daunting, but with the right code strategy, you can handle file transfers smoothly and efficiently. Just remember to employ Java's powerful Files API for direct operations on files, and your coding will become much cleaner and more effective.

Happy programming!
