Member Function Documentation

virtual size32_t length (  )  const [pure virtual]

Determine the length of the buffer.

Returns:
the number of octets of data represented by this ReadBuffer

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer.

virtual octet_t read ( size32_t  of  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the octet at the specified offset.

An offset ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first octet of the sequence is at offset 0, the next at offset 1, and so on, as for array indexing.

Parameters:
of the offset (index) of the octet
Returns:
the octet at the specified offset in this ReadBuffer
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException if the of argument is not less than the length of this ReadBuffer

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer.

virtual void read ( size32_t  ofBegin,
size32_t  ofEnd,
Array< octet_t >::Handle  habDest,
size32_t  ofDest 
) const [pure virtual]

Copies octets from this ReadBuffer into the destination octet array.

The first octet to be copied is at offset ofBegin; the last octet to be copied is at offset ofEnd-1 (thus the total number of octets to be copied is ofEnd - ofBegin). The octets are copied into the subarray of habDest starting at offset ofDest and ending at index:

     ofDest + (ofEnd - ofBegin) - 1
 
This method allows the caller to extract a chunk of octets into the caller's own array.

Parameters:
ofBegin offset of the first octet in the ReadBuffer to copy
ofEnd offset after the last octet in the ReadBuffer to copy
habDest the destination octet array
ofDest the offset in the destination octet array to copy the first octet to
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException if any of the following is true:
  • ofBegin is greater than ofEnd
  • ofEnd is greater than the length of this ReadBuffer;
  • ofDest + (ofEnd - ofBegin) is larger than habDest->length
NullPointerException if habDest is NULL

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer.

virtual ReadBuffer::View getReadBuffer ( size32_t  of,
size32_t  cb 
) const [pure virtual]

Obtain a ReadBuffer for a portion of this ReadBuffer.

Parameters:
of the beginning index, inclusive
cb the number of octets to include in the resulting ReadBuffer
Returns:
a ReadBuffer that represents a portion of this ReadBuffer
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException if of + cb is larger than the length of this ReadBuffer

Implemented in AbstractReadBuffer.

virtual BinaryView toBinary (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns a new Binary object that holds the complete contents of this ReadBuffer.

This is the equivalent of toBinary(0, length()).

Returns:
the contents of this ReadBuffer as a Binary object
Since:
Coherence 3.7.1

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer, and AbstractReadBuffer.

virtual BinaryView toBinary ( size32_t  of,
size32_t  cb 
) const [pure virtual]

Returns a Binary object that holds the specified portion of this ReadBuffer.

This is the equivalent of getReadBuffer(of, cb)->toBinary().

Parameters:
of the beginning index, inclusive
cb the number of octets to include in the Binary object
Returns:
a Binary object containing the specified portion of this ReadBuffer
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException if of + cb is larger than the length of this ReadBuffer object
Since:
Coherence 3.7.1

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer, and AbstractReadBuffer.

virtual Array<octet_t>::View toOctetArray (  )  const [pure virtual]

Get the contents of the ReadBuffer as an octet array.

This is the equivalent of toOctetArray(0, length()).

Returns:
an octet array with the contents of this ReadBuffer object

Implemented in AbstractReadBuffer.

virtual Array<octet_t>::View toOctetArray ( size32_t  of,
size32_t  cb 
) const [pure virtual]

Get a portion of the contents of the ReadBuffer as an octet array.

Parameters:
of the beginning index, inclusive
cb the number of octets to include in the resulting array
Returns:
an octet array containing the specified portion of this ReadBuffer
Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException if of + cb is larger than the length of this ReadBuffer

Implemented in AbstractOctetArrayReadBuffer, and AbstractReadBuffer.

virtual BufferInput::Handle getBufferInput (  )  const [pure virtual]

Get a BufferInput object to read data from this buffer.

Note that each call to this method will return a new BufferInput object, with the possible exception being that a zero-length ReadBuffer could always return the same instance (since there is nothing to read).

Returns:
a BufferInput that is reading from this buffer starting at offset zero

Implemented in AbstractReadBuffer.
