Class SerialSerialBinding<K,D,E>

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialSerialBinding<K,D,E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

EntityBinding<E>

public abstract class SerialSerialBinding<K,D,E>
extends Object
implements EntityBinding<E>

An abstract EntityBinding that treats an entity's key entry and data entry as serialized objects.

This class takes care of serializing and deserializing the key and data entry automatically. Its three abstract methods must be implemented by a concrete subclass to convert the deserialized objects to/from an entity object.

• entryToObject(Object,Object)
• objectToKey(Object)
• objectToData(Object)
