## javax.media.j3d
Class MediaContainer

    java.lang.Object
      javax.media.j3d.SceneGraphObject
          javax.media.j3d.NodeComponent
              javax.media.j3d.MediaContainer

    public class MediaContainer

extends NodeComponent

The MediaContainer object defines all sound data: cached state flag, and associated sound media. Currently this references the sound media in one of three forms: URL String, URL object, or InputStream object. In future releases media data will include references to Java Media Player objects. Only one type of sound media data specified using `setURLString`, `setURLObject`, or `setInputStream` may be non-null (or they may all be null). An attempt to set more than one of these attributes to a non-null reference will result in an exception being thrown. If all sound media data references are null, there is no sound associated with this MediaContainer and Sound nodes referencing this object cannot be played.

Field Summary
`static int` | `ALLOW_CACHE_READ` For MediaContainer component objects, specifies that this object allows the reading of its cached flag.
`static int` | `ALLOW_CACHE_WRITE` For MediaContainer component objects, specifies that this object allows the writing of its cached flag.
`static int` | `ALLOW_URL_READ` For MediaContainer component objects, specifies that this object allows the reading of it's sound data.
`static int` | `ALLOW_URL_WRITE` For MediaContainer component objects, specifies that this object allows the writing of it's URL path.

Constructor Summary
`MediaContainer()` Constructs a MediaContainer object with default parameters.
`MediaContainer(java.io.InputStream stream)` Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.
`MediaContainer(java.lang.String path)` Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.
`MediaContainer(java.net.URL url)` Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.

Method Summary

  URL object data : null
  InputStream data : null
  cache enable : true

### MediaContainer

    public MediaContainer(java.lang.String path)

  Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.

  Parameters:
    `path` - string of URL path containing sound data
  Throws:
    `SoundException` - if the URL is not valid or cannot be opened

### MediaContainer

    public MediaContainer(java.net.URL url)

  Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.

  Parameters:
    `url` - URL path containing sound data

### MediaContainer

    public MediaContainer(java.io.InputStream stream)

  Constructs and initializes a MediaContainer object using specified parameters.

  Parameters:
    `stream` - input stream containing sound data
  Since:
    Java 3D 1.2

Method Detail

### setCacheEnable

    public void setCacheEnable(boolean flag)

  Set Cache Enable state flag. Allows the writing of sound data explicitly into the MediaContainer rather than just referencing a JavaMedia container.

  Parameters:
