Class TupleSerialBinding<D,E>

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBase
      com.sleepycat.bind.serial.TupleSerialBinding<D,E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

EntityBinding<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

TupleSerialMarshalledBinding

public abstract class TupleSerialBinding<D,E>
extends TupleBase
implements EntityBinding<E>

An abstract EntityBinding that treats an entity's key entry as a tuple and its data entry as a serialized object.

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

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

Parameters:

classCatalog - is the catalog to hold shared class information and for a database should be a StoredClassCatalog.

baseClass - is the base class.

TupleSerialBinding

public TupleSerialBinding(SerialBinding<D> dataBinding)

Creates a tuple-serial entity binding.

Parameters:

dataBinding - is the data binding.

Method Detail

entryToObject

public E entryToObject(DatabaseEntry key,
                       DatabaseEntry data)

Description copied from interface: EntityBinding

Converts key and data entry buffers into an entity Object.

Specified by:

entryToObject in interface EntityBinding<E>

Parameters:

key - is the source key entry.

data - is the source data entry.

Returns:

the resulting Object.

objectToKey

public void objectToKey(E object,
                        DatabaseEntry key)

Description copied from interface: EntityBinding

Extracts the key entry from an entity Object.

Specified by:

objectToKey in interface EntityBinding<E>

Parameters:

object - is the source Object.

key - is the destination entry buffer.

objectToData

public void objectToData(E object,
                         DatabaseEntry data)

Description copied from interface: EntityBinding

Extracts the data entry from an entity Object.

Specified by:

objectToData in interface EntityBinding<E>

Parameters:

object - is the source Object.

data - is the destination entry buffer.

entryToObject

public abstract E entryToObject(TupleInput keyInput,
                                D dataInput)

Constructs an entity object from TupleInput key entry and deserialized data entry objects.

Parameters:

keyInput - is the TupleInput key entry object.

dataInput - is the deserialized data entry object.

Returns:

the entity object constructed from the key and data.

objectToKey

public abstract void objectToKey(E object,
                                 TupleOutput keyOutput)

Extracts a key tuple from an entity object.

Parameters:

object - is the entity object.

keyOutput - is the TupleOutput to which the key should be written.

objectToData

public abstract D objectToData(E object)

Extracts a data object from an entity object.

Parameters:

object - is the entity object.

Returns:

the deserialized data object.
