Struts2中使用Stream Result Type

Stream result type是Struts2中比较有用的一个feature。特别是在动态生成图片和文档的情况下；例如动态验证码，各种报表图片生成等。鉴于网上使用struts2生成动态验证码，struts2+jfreechart的例子中很少使用到该feature，这里以生成动态验证码为例解释stream result的使用：

1. Action类，action主要要提供一个获取InputStrem的方法

   public class CheckCodeAction extends ActionSupport implements SessionAware {
       private Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
       private InputStream imageStream;
       private Map session;
   
       public String getCheckCodeImage(String str, int show, ByteArrayOutputStream output) {
           Random random = new Random();
           BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(80, 30, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
           Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 24);
           int distance = 18;
           Graphics d = image.getGraphics();
           d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
           d.fillRect(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
           d.setColor(new Color(random.nextInt(100) + 100, random.nextInt(100) + 100, random.nextInt(100) + 100));
           for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
               d.drawLine(random.nextInt(image.getWidth()), random.nextInt(image.getHeight()), random.nextInt(image.getWidth()),
                       random.nextInt(image.getHeight()));
           }
           d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
           d.setFont(font);
           String checkCode = "";
           char tmp;
           int x = -distance;
           for (int i = 0; i < show; i++) {
               tmp = str.charAt(random.nextInt(str.length() - 1));
               checkCode = checkCode + tmp;
               x = x + distance;
               d.setColor(new Color(random.nextInt(100) + 50, random.nextInt(100) + 50, random.nextInt(100) + 50));
               d.drawString(tmp + "", x, random.nextInt(image.getHeight() - (font.getSize())) + (font.getSize()));
           }
           d.dispose();
           try {
               ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", output);
           } catch (IOException e) {
               log.warn("生成验证码错误.", e);
           }
           return checkCode;
       }
   
       public String execute() throws Exception {
           ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
           String checkCode = getCheckCodeImage("ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789", 4, output);
           this.session.put(Constants.CHECK_CODE_KEY, checkCode);
           //这里将output stream转化为 inputstream
           this.imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());
           output.close();
           return SUCCESS;
       }
   
       public InputStream getImageStream() {
           return imageStream;
       }
   
       public void setSession(Map session) {
           this.session = session;
       }

    
2. struts配置文件

   <action name="checkCode" class="CheckCodeAction">
         <result name="success" type="stream">
               <param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>
               <!-- 指定提供InputStream的filed name -->
               <param name="inputName">imageStream</param>
               <param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
           </result>
           <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
   </action>

    
3. 可以看出使用Stream result type非常简单。在该例子中使用了一个小技巧将OutputStream转化为InputStrem

   ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   //省略填充output的代码
   ...   
   InputStrem
   in = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());
