Class ConfEBinary

Object
com.tailf.proto.ConfEObject
com.tailf.proto.ConfEBinary
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable
public class ConfEBinary extends ConfEObject implements Serializable, Cloneable
Provides a Java representation of E binaries. Anything that can be represented as a sequence of bytes can be made into an E binary.

  • Constructor Details

    • ConfEBinary

      public ConfEBinary(byte[] bin)
      Create a binary from a byte array
      Parameters:
      bin - the array of bytes from which to create the binary.

    • ConfEBinary

      public ConfEBinary(String s)

    • ConfEBinary

      public ConfEBinary(ConfInputStream buf) throws ConfEDecodeException
      Create a binary from a stream containing a binary encoded in E external format.
      Parameters:
      buf - the stream containing the encoded binary.
      Throws:
      ConfEDecodeException - if the buffer does not contain a valid external representation of an E binary.

    • ConfEBinary

      public ConfEBinary(Object o)
      Create a binary from an arbitrary Java Object. The object must implement java.io.Serializable or java.io.Externalizable.
      Parameters:
      o - the object to serialize and create this binary from.

  • Method Details

    • binaryValue

      public byte[] binaryValue()
      Get the byte array from a binary.
      Returns:
      the byte array containing the bytes for this binary.

    • stringValue

      public String stringValue()
      Get the string representation of binary
      Returns:
      a string object containing the bytes for this binary.

    • size

      public int size()
      Get the size of the binary.
      Returns:
      the number of bytes contained in the binary.

    • getObject

      public Object getObject()
      Get the java Object from the binary. If the binary contains a serialized Java object, then this method will recreate the object.
      Returns:
      the java Object represented by this binary, or null if the binary does not represent a Java Object.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Get the string representation of this binary object. A binary is printed as #Bin<N>, where N is the number of bytes contained in the object.
      Specified by:
      toString in class ConfEObject
      Returns:
      the E string representation of this binary.

    • encode

      public void encode(ConfOutputStream buf)
      Convert this binary to the equivalent E external representation.
      Specified by:
      encode in class ConfEObject
      Parameters:
      buf - an output stream to which the encoded binary should be written.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)
      Determine if two binaries are equal. Binaries are equal if they have the same length and the array of bytes is identical.
      Specified by:
      equals in class ConfEObject
      Parameters:
      o - the binary to compare to.
      Returns:
      true if the byte arrays contain the same bytes, false otherwise.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Overrides:
      clone in class ConfEObject
