## org.apache.tools.ant.filters
Class ClassConstants

    java.lang.Object
      java.io.Reader
          java.io.FilterReader
              org.apache.tools.ant.filters.BaseFilterReader
                  org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ClassConstants

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Closeable, java.lang.Readable, ChainableReader

    public final class ClassConstants

extends BaseFilterReader
implements ChainableReader

Assembles the constants declared in a Java class in `key1=value1(line separator)key2=value2` format.

Notes:

1. This filter uses the BCEL external toolkit.
2. This assembles only those constants that are not created using the syntax `new whatever()`
3. This assembles constants declared using the basic datatypes and String only.
4. The access modifiers of the declared constants do not matter.

Example:

    <classconstants/>

Or:

    <filterreader
        classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ClassConstants"/>

Constructor Detail

### ClassConstants

    public ClassConstants()

  Constructor for "dummy" instances.

  See Also:
    `BaseFilterReader.BaseFilterReader()`

### ClassConstants

    public ClassConstants(java.io.Reader in)

  Creates a new filtered reader. The contents of the passed-in reader are expected to be the name of the class from which to produce a list of constants.

  Parameters:
    `in` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.

Method Detail

### read

    public int read()
             throws java.io.IOException

  Reads and assembles the constants declared in a class file.

  Overrides:
    `read` in class `java.io.FilterReader`
  Returns:
    the next character in the list of constants, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading, or if the constants for the specified class cannot be read (for example due to the class not being found).

### chain

    public java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)

  Creates a new ClassConstants using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

  Specified by:
    `chain` in interface `ChainableReader`
  Parameters:
    `rdr` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.
  Returns:
    a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
