- ## Method Details

  - ### doWrite

    public int doWrite(ByteBuffer chunk) throws IOException
    Description copied from interface: `OutputBuffer`
    Write the given data to the response. The caller owns the chunks.
    Specified by:
      `doWrite` in interface `OutputBuffer`
    Parameters:
      `chunk` - data to write
    Returns:
      The number of bytes written which may be less than available in the input chunk
    Throws:
      `IOException` - an underlying I/O error occurred

  - ### getBytesWritten

    public long getBytesWritten()
    Description copied from interface: `OutputBuffer`
    Bytes written to the underlying socket. This includes the effects of chunking, compression, etc.
    Specified by:
      `getBytesWritten` in interface `OutputBuffer`
    Returns:
      Bytes written for the current request

  - ### setResponse

    public void setResponse(Response response)
    Description copied from interface: `OutputFilter`
    Some filters need additional parameters from the response. All the necessary reading can occur in that method, as this method is called after the response header processing is complete.
    Specified by:
      `setResponse` in interface `OutputFilter`
    Parameters:
      `response` - The response to associate with this OutputFilter

  - ### setBuffer

    public void setBuffer(HttpOutputBuffer buffer)
    Description copied from interface: `OutputFilter`
    Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.
    Specified by:
      `setBuffer` in interface `OutputFilter`
    Parameters:
      `buffer` - The next buffer instance

  - ### flush

    public void flush() throws IOException
    Description copied from interface: `HttpOutputBuffer`
    Flushes any unwritten data to the client.
    Specified by:
      `flush` in interface `HttpOutputBuffer`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while flushing

  - ### recycle

    public void recycle()
    Description copied from interface: `OutputFilter`
    Make the filter ready to process the next request.
    Specified by:
      `recycle` in interface `OutputFilter`

  - ### end

    public void end() throws IOException
    Description copied from interface: `HttpOutputBuffer`
    Finish writing the current response. It is acceptable to write extra bytes using `OutputBuffer.doWrite(java.nio.ByteBuffer)` during the execution of this method.
    Specified by:
      `end` in interface `HttpOutputBuffer`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while writing to the client
