Java: Javolution: How to use UTF8ByteBufferWriter and MappedByteBuffer?

Question

To Anybody that uses the javolution, please guide me on how to use it. Any snippet code helps me a lot.

here's my current code:

public static void mergeAllFilesJavolution2()throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    String fileDir = "C:\\TestData\\w12";
    File dirSrc = new File(fileDir);
    File[] list = dirSrc.listFiles();
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

    String outFile = fileDir + "\\..\\merged.txt";
    File file2 = new File(outFile);
    //file2.createNewFile();
    FileChannel fc2 = (new RandomAccessFile(file2, "rw")).getChannel(); 

    for(int j=0; j<list.length; j++){
        int chr;
        String srcFile = list[j].getPath();

        File file = new File(srcFile);
        FileChannel fc = (new FileInputStream(file)).getChannel(); 
        MappedByteBuffer buf = fc.map(MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, file.length());
        UTF8ByteBufferReader inFile= new UTF8ByteBufferReader().setInput(buf);

        MappedByteBuffer buf2 = fc2.map(MapMode.READ_WRITE, file2.length(), file.length());
        UTF8ByteBufferWriter outPut= new UTF8ByteBufferWriter().setOutput(buf2);

        while((chr=inFile.read()) != -1) {
            outPut.write(chr);
        }
        outPut.close();
        inFile.close();
    }
    System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-start);
}

but it gives me an exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.nio.channels.NonReadableChannelException at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:716) at abc.filedivision.FileMergeTest.mergeAllFilesJavolution2(FileMergeTest.java:100) at abc.filedivision.FileMergeTest.main(FileMergeTest.java:27)

Any guidance on the right direction is appreciated.

Its worth noting, the error hasn't anything to do with Javolution. — Peter Lawrey, Jun 17 '11 at 10:52
@Peter Lawrey , do you have snippet code on how to use UTF8ByteBufferWriter class of javolution? — eros, Jun 20 '11 at 01:23
Now, I think this is the fastest ever merging a file. Thanks to Peter Lawrey — eros, Jun 20 '11 at 01:35

My guess is it is complaining here (thats why its important to look at the line of code which has the error)

FileChannel fc2 = (new FileOutputStream(file2, true)).getChannel(); 
MappedByteBuffer buf2 = fc2.map(MapMode.READ_WRITE, 0, file2.length());

This exception is thrown if you are trying to use the channel to read but it is not readable.

You can only open a channel in READ_WRITE mode if you use RandomAccessFile in "rw", "rws", or "rwd" modes

I edited the original post to apply his solution. And correct some part because it overwrite itself. – eros Jun 20 '11 at 01:32
