Class CharacterBinding

java.lang.Object

          com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.CharacterBinding

All Implemented Interfaces:

EntryBinding<Character>

public class CharacterBinding
extends TupleBinding<Character>

A concrete TupleBinding for a Character primitive wrapper or a char primitive.

There are two ways to use this class:

1. When using the com.sleepycat.db package directly, the static methods in this class can be used to convert between primitive values and DatabaseEntry objects.
2. When using the com.sleepycat.collections package, an instance of this class can be used with any stored collection. The easiest way to obtain a binding instance is with the TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class) method.

Method Detail

entryToObject

public Character entryToObject(TupleInput input)

Description copied from class: TupleBinding

Constructs a key or data object from a TupleInput entry.

Specified by:

entryToObject in class TupleBinding<Character>

Parameters:

input - is the tuple key or data entry.

Returns:

the key or data object constructed from the entry.

objectToEntry

public void objectToEntry(Character object,
                          TupleOutput output)

Description copied from class: TupleBinding

Converts a key or data object to a tuple entry.

Specified by:

objectToEntry in class TupleBinding<Character>

Parameters:

object - is the key or data object.

output - is the tuple entry to which the key or data should be written.

entryToChar

public static char entryToChar(DatabaseEntry entry)

Converts an entry buffer into a simple char value.

Parameters:

entry - is the source entry buffer.

Returns:

the resulting value.

charToEntry

public static void charToEntry(char val,
                               DatabaseEntry entry)

Converts a simple char value into an entry buffer.

Parameters:

val - is the source value.

entry - is the destination entry buffer.
