Class ByteBinding

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding
      com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.ByteBinding

All Implemented Interfaces:

EntryBinding

public class ByteBinding

extends TupleBinding

A concrete TupleBinding for a Byte primitive wrapper or a byte primitive.

There are two ways to use this class:

1. When using the com.sleepycat.db package directly, the static methods in this class can be used to convert between primitive values and DatabaseEntry objects.
2. When using the com.sleepycat.collections package, an instance of this class can be used with any stored collection. The easiest way to obtain a binding instance is with the TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class) method.

Method Detail

entryToObject

public Object entryToObject(TupleInput input)

Description copied from class: TupleBinding

Constructs a key or data object from a TupleInput entry.

Specified by:

entryToObject in class TupleBinding

Parameters:

input - is the tuple key or data entry.

Returns:

the key or data object constructed from the entry.

objectToEntry

public void objectToEntry(Object object,
                          TupleOutput output)

Description copied from class: TupleBinding

Converts a key or data object to a tuple entry.

Specified by:

objectToEntry in class TupleBinding

Parameters:

object - is the key or data object.

output - is the tuple entry to which the key or data should be written.

objectToEntry

public void objectToEntry(Object object,
                          DatabaseEntry entry)

Description copied from interface: EntryBinding

Converts an Object into a entry buffer.

Specified by:

objectToEntry in interface EntryBinding

Overrides:

objectToEntry in class TupleBinding

entryToByte

public static byte entryToByte(DatabaseEntry entry)

Converts an entry buffer into a simple byte value.

Parameters:

entry - is the source entry buffer.

Returns:

the resulting value.

byteToEntry

public static void byteToEntry(byte val,
                               DatabaseEntry entry)

Converts a simple byte value into an entry buffer.

Parameters:

val - is the source value.

entry - is the destination entry buffer.
