public class ByteArrayWrapper
extends Object
implements Comparable

A simple utility class to wrap a byte array.

Generally passed as an argument object into a method. The method takes responsibility of writing into the internal byte array and increasing its size when necessary.

          Internal byte array.
 int size
          Size of the internal byte array used.
 
Constructor Summary
ByteArrayWrapper()
          Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper with no data.
ByteArrayWrapper(byte[] bytesToAdopt, int size)
          Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper from a byte array and size
ByteArrayWrapper(java.nio.ByteBuffer source)
          Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper from the contents of a ByteBuffer.
 
Method Summary
 ByteArrayWrapper append(byte[] src, int start, int limit)
          Appends the internal byte array from offset size with the contents of src from offset start to limit.
 int compareTo(Object other)
          Compare this object to another ByteArrayWrapper, which must not be null.
 ByteArrayWrapper ensureCapacity(int capacity)
          Ensure that the internal byte array is at least of length capacity.

Field Detail

bytes

public byte[] bytes
Internal byte array.


size

public int size
Size of the internal byte array used. Different from bytes.length, size will be <= bytes.length. Semantics of size is similar to java.util.Vector.size().

Constructor Detail

ByteArrayWrapper

public ByteArrayWrapper()
Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper with no data.


ByteArrayWrapper

public ByteArrayWrapper(byte[] bytesToAdopt,
                        int size)
Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper from a byte array and size

Parameters:
bytesToAdopt - the byte array to adopt
size - the length of valid data in the byte array
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if bytesToAdopt == null and size != 0, or size < 0, or size > bytesToAdopt.length.

ByteArrayWrapper

public ByteArrayWrapper(java.nio.ByteBuffer source)
Construct a new ByteArrayWrapper from the contents of a ByteBuffer.

Parameters:
source - the ByteBuffer from which to get the data.
Method Detail

ensureCapacity

public ByteArrayWrapper ensureCapacity(int capacity)
Ensure that the internal byte array is at least of length capacity. If the byte array is null or its length is less than capacity, a new byte array of length capacity will be allocated. The contents of the array (between 0 and size) remain unchanged.

Parameters:
capacity - minimum length of internal byte array.
Returns:
this ByteArrayWrapper

set

public final ByteArrayWrapper set(byte[] src,
                                  int start,
                                  int limit)
Set the internal byte array from offset 0 to (limit - start) with the contents of src from offset start to limit. If the byte array is null or its length is less than capacity, a new byte array of length (limit - start) will be allocated. This resets the size of the internal byte array to (limit - start).

Parameters:
src - source byte array to copy from
start - start offset of src to copy from
limit - end + 1 offset of src to copy from
Returns:
this ByteArrayWrapper

append

public final ByteArrayWrapper append(byte[] src,
                                     int start,
                                     int limit)
Appends the internal byte array from offset size with the contents of src from offset start to limit. This increases the size of the internal byte array to (size + limit - start).

Parameters:
src - source byte array to copy from
start - start offset of src to copy from
limit - end + 1 offset of src to copy from
Returns:
this ByteArrayWrapper

releaseBytes

public final byte[] releaseBytes()
Releases the internal byte array to the caller, resets the internal byte array to null and its size to 0.

Returns:
internal byte array.

toString

public String toString()
Returns string value for debugging

Overrides:
toString in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)
Return true if the bytes in each wrapper are equal.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
other - the object to compare to.
Returns:
true if the two objects are equal.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Return the hashcode.

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
the hashcode.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object other)
Compare this object to another ByteArrayWrapper, which must not be null.

Specified by:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
other - the object to compare to.
Returns:
a value <0, 0, or >0 as this compares less than, equal to, or greater than other.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the other object is not a ByteArrayWrapper
