issue while extending InputStream class

Question

I am trying to extend InputStream class and use customized read() methods. This is my class snapshot:

class MyClass
{    
     /** Input stream */
     private final MyInputStream in = new MyInputStream();
     /**get the InputStream
     public InputStream getInputStream()
     {
         return in;
     }

     /** Inner class for MyInputStream */
     class MyInputStream extends InputStream
     {
         //here i am keeping implementation of read methods
         public synchronized int read( byte b[] ) throws IOException
         {
         //..................
         }
     }
 }

Here is my client class

public class MyClient {
     //InStreams
     protected BufferedInputStream mBufInStream;
     protected DataInputStream mInStream;

     public int read(byte[] buffer)
     {
           MyClass obj1 =  new MyClass();
           mBufInStream = new BufferedInputStream(obj1.getInputStream());
           mInStream = new DataInputStream(mBufInStream);
           try
           {
               int i = mBufInStream.read(buffer);
               return i;
           }
           catch (IOException ex)
           {
               return -1;
           }
     }

     public static void main(String args[])
     {
        MyClient cl1 = new MyClient();
        int ret = 0;
        byte[] data = {};

        ret = cl1.read(data);

     } 
 }

What i wanted to do is call my read method of MyInputStream Class when cl1.read is done.

I don't know what i am missing here.

Answer 1

I created the DataInputStream object using MyInputStream and got it working. Here is the updated code:

public class MyClient {
 //InStreams
 protected DataInputStream mInStream;

 public int read(byte[] buffer)
 {
       MyClass obj1 =  new MyClass();
       mInStream = new DataInputStream(obj1.getInputStream());
       try
       {
           int i = mInStream.read(buffer);
           return i;
       }
       catch (IOException ex)
       {
           return -1;
       }
 }

 public static void main(String args[])
 {
    MyClient cl1 = new MyClient();
    int ret = 0;
    byte[] data = {};

    ret = cl1.read(data);

 } 
}
