All Implemented Interfaces:

ReadBuffer, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Binary, ByteArrayReadBuffer

public abstract class AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer
extends AbstractReadBuffer

The AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer abstract class is intended to serve as a base class for the following:

1. the pre-existing Binary class
2. a new byte[] based class that does not attempt to add the immutability aspect provided by the Binary class
3. a new ByteBuffer based class that will work with Java NIO

This implementation is not intended to be thread safe.

Field Detail

m_ab

protected byte[] m_ab

The byte array that holds the binary data. This value should not be changed.

m_of

protected int m_of

Offset into the byte array at which the binary data is located. This value should not be changed.

m_cb

protected int m_cb

Number of bytes in the byte array that belong to this ReadBuffer object. This value should not be changed.

Constructor Detail

AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer

protected AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer()

Default constructor; intended for deserialization use by subclasses.

Note that this default constructor leaves the buffer in an invalid state.

AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer

protected AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer(byte[] ab,
                                      int of,
                                      int cb)

Construct an AbstractByteArrayReadBuffer on a portion of a byte array.

Parameters:

ab - a byte array

of - an offset into the byte array

cb - the number of bytes to utilize

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if of or cb is negative, or of + cb is larger than ab.length

NullPointerException - if ab is null

Method Detail

resetRange

public void resetRange(int of,
                       int cb)

Reset the portion of the byte array the ReadBuffer operates upon.

Parameters:

of - an offset into the byte array

cb - the number of bytes to utilize

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if of or cb are negative, or of + cb is larger than the buffer's length

length

public int length()

Determine the length of the buffer.

Returns:

the number of bytes of data represented by this ReadBuffer

byteAt

public byte byteAt(int of)

Returns the byte at the specified offset. An offset ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first byte of the sequence is at offset 0, the next at offset 1, and so on, as for array indexing.

Parameters:

of - the offset (index) of the byte

Returns:

the byte at the specified offset in this ReadBuffer

copyBytes

public void copyBytes(int ofBegin,
                      int ofEnd,
                      byte[] abDest,
                      int ofDest)

Copies bytes from this ReadBuffer into the destination byte array.

The first byte to be copied is at offset ofBegin; the last byte to be copied is at offset ofEnd-1 (thus the total number of bytes to be copied is ofEnd - ofBegin). The bytes are copied into the subarray of abDest starting at offset ofDest and ending at index:

     ofDest + (ofEnd - ofBegin) - 1
 

This method is the ReadBuffer equivalent of String.getChars(int, int, char[], int). It allows the caller to extract a chunk of bytes into the caller's own array.

Parameters:

ofBegin - offset of the first byte in the ReadBuffer to copy

ofEnd - offset after the last byte in the ReadBuffer to copy

abDest - the destination byte array

ofDest - the offset in the destination byte array to copy the first byte to

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray(int of,
                          int cb)

Get a portion of the contents of the ReadBuffer as a byte array.

This is the equivalent of getReadBuffer(of, cb).toByteArray().

Specified by:

toByteArray in interface ReadBuffer

Overrides:

toByteArray in class AbstractReadBuffer

Parameters:

of - the beginning index, inclusive

cb - the number of bytes to include in the resulting byte[]

Returns:

a byte[] containing the specified portion of this ReadBuffer

toBinary

public Binary toBinary()

Returns a new Binary object that holds the complete contents of this ReadBuffer.

This is the equivalent of toBinary(0, length()).

Specified by:

toBinary in interface ReadBuffer

Overrides:

toBinary in class AbstractReadBuffer

Returns:

the contents of this ReadBuffer as a Binary object

toBinary

public Binary toBinary(int of,
                       int cb)

Returns a Binary object that holds the specified portion of this ReadBuffer.

This is the equivalent of getReadBuffer(of, cb).toBinary().

Specified by:

toBinary in interface ReadBuffer

Overrides:

toBinary in class AbstractReadBuffer

Parameters:

of - the beginning index, inclusive

cb - the number of bytes to include in the Binary object

Returns:

a Binary object containing the specified portion of this ReadBuffer

instantiateBufferInput

protected ReadBuffer.BufferInput instantiateBufferInput()

Factory method: Instantiate a BufferInput object to read data from the ReadBuffer.

Overrides:

instantiateBufferInput in class AbstractReadBuffer

Returns:

a new BufferInput reading from this ReadBuffer

isByteArrayPrivate

protected abstract boolean isByteArrayPrivate()

Determine if the underlying byte[] should be treated as private data.

Returns:

true iff the underlying data should not ever be exposed by this object
