Constructor Detail

BinaryWriteBuffer

public BinaryWriteBuffer(int cbCap)

Construct an BinaryWriteBuffer with a certain initial capacity.

Parameters:

cbCap - initial capacity

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if cbCap is negative

BinaryWriteBuffer

public BinaryWriteBuffer(int cbCap,
                         int cbMax)

Construct an BinaryWriteBuffer with a certain initial capacity and a certain maximum capacity.

Parameters:

cbCap - initial capacity

cbMax - maximum capacity

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if cbCap or cbMax is negative, or if cbCap is greater than cbMax

Method Detail

toBinary

public Binary toBinary()

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

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:

 return getUnsafeReadBuffer().toBinary();
 

Specified by:

toBinary in interface WriteBuffer

Overrides:

toBinary in class AbstractWriteBuffer

Returns:

the contents of this WriteBuffer as a Binary object

checkBounds

protected void checkBounds(int of,
                           int cb)

Validate the ranges for the passed bounds and make sure that the underlying array is big enough to handle them.

Prevents all modifications from occurring once the WriteBuffer has supplied it byte array to a Binary object.

Overrides:

checkBounds in class ByteArrayWriteBuffer

Parameters:

of - the offset that data is about to be written to

cb - the length of the data that is about to be written
