Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(HelperBinaryConversion helperBinaryConversion,
              IObjectIOManagerForObjectIO objectIOManager)

byteSize

int byteSize()

Returns:

binary format byte size

toBinary

int toBinary(byte[] binary,
           int offset,
           boolean valueDefined,
           Object object)
             throws BinaryConverterException

convert object value to binary

Parameters:

binary - where put the result

offset - offset on binary array to write the result

valueDefined - true if value defined

object - the object from which take the value

Returns:

offset on binary after the result

Throws:

BinaryConverterException

IllegalArgumentException - bad obbject type

fromBinary

void fromBinary(byte[] binary,
              int offset)
                throws BinaryConverterException

convert binary to object
can return already existing object for same state, example of Integer.valueOf()

Parameters:

binary - the binary value

offset - offset of the binary value in binary array

Throws:

BinaryConverterException
