18. Buffered Writer automatically does flush() on a close()?    coderanch.com

first, Writer is an abstract class and close() is abstract, so that method in Writer has no implementation.

You can always look at the source code in src.zip. Yes, flush() is a no-op as well, and you could safely ignore both flush() and close().

24. Flushing IO streams.............    coderanch.com

The OutputStream class has a flush() method that you can call to flush the stream. Notice that InputStream does not have any such method since there is no reason to flush an InputStream. It is best to flush explicitly, but there are some cases where Java will do it for you: 1) OutputStream.close() calls OutputStream.flush() before closing the stream. 2) Java ...

30. Question about PrintWriter.flush();    forums.oracle.com

31. "flush on outputstream will do nothing"    forums.oracle.com

Possibly. Is it a guarantee that any OutputStream or Writer that is not explicitly buffered (i.e., its docs don't state that it is or is not) is not buffered? Rather than assume, I'd call flush() in those cases. Additionally, many APIs deal with the abstract types, so you don't know what the underlying implementation is. So while the actual practical effect ...

34. Any way to flush() InputStreamReader?    forums.oracle.com

This is as simple as sending the size before ...

35. How to get output stream of process and flush    forums.oracle.com

Indeed it is, but the basic ideas in it still apply.

But my impression of the original post is that the question is just about the fact that the Process variable is ...

37. flushing DataOutputStream    forums.oracle.com

38. The contract for java.io.OutputStream.flush()    forums.oracle.com

Well, if it were me I would probably redefine the flush() method to only write the bytes that I was ready to write. So in your Base64 case I might be holding back one or two bytes. If challenged on that I would just say that my flush() method conformed to the contract because those bytes weren't "buffered" yet.

39. java.io.FileWriter + flush()    forums.oracle.com

I am using a FileWriter within my web app to log application events. After every write I do a flush(). The problem is the writes usually don't show up in the log file until I shutdown Tomcat. If I switch from using flush() to closing + reopening the FileWriter that fixes the issue, however that seems excessive and inefficient. I don't ...

I am customizing the method: serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) and unclear how to flush out the buffer. the first read is often a complete 49 bytes and that's great. but if for some reason a partial read is made, each event then only delivers some 49-byte ...

42. No reason to flush DataOutputStream.write??    forums.oracle.com

I have a client that sends some bytes to a server with DataOutputStream. The server receives them with DataInputStream,readFully(). For some reason this works fine eventhough I don't flush each time after calling write on the client side. When I use PrinWriter on the same socket I have to flush after each println call. Why the difference?
