Class NativeGuid

java.lang.Object
oracle.ldap.util.NativeGuid

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

public final class NativeGuid

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Cloneable

This class represents GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers), or object IDs. This is an immutable class.

Field Summary

static int	GUID_BYTE_SIZE number of bytes required for GUID
static int	GUID_STRING_SIZE number of bytes required for the string representation of GUID
static int	GUID_STRING_SIZE_NEW orig string size

Constructor Summary

NativeGuid()
Default constructor.

NativeGuid(byte[] byte_array)
Construct a NativeGuid from a byte array

NativeGuid(java.lang.String guid)
Construct a NativeGuid from a string

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	clone() Clones a NativeGuid object
static java.lang.String	compactGuidString(java.lang.String s) Converts the larger version of the GUID String to a more compact version.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o) Compare the NativeGuid in a string format
static java.lang.String	expandGuidString(java.lang.String s) Expands the compact version of the GUID String to a more readable version.
byte[]	getBytes() return the 'byte' form of the NativeGuid
int	hashCode() return the hashcode of this object for hashing purposes
static void	main(java.lang.String[] argv) main function used for testing
static NativeGuid	newInstance() generates a new NativeGuid
java.lang.String	toString() Retrieves the NativeGuid in a string format

Constructor Detail

NativeGuid

public NativeGuid()

Default constructor.

NativeGuid

public NativeGuid(java.lang.String guid)

Construct a NativeGuid from a string

Parameters:

guid - a string representation of a Globally Unique Identifier

NativeGuid

public NativeGuid(byte[] byte_array)

Construct a NativeGuid from a byte array

Parameters:

byte_array - an array of bytes representing a GUID. This constructor will validate the length of the byte array before proceeding.

Method Detail

compactGuidString

public static java.lang.String compactGuidString(java.lang.String s)

Converts the larger version of the GUID String to a more compact version.

expandGuidString

public static java.lang.String expandGuidString(java.lang.String s)

Expands the compact version of the GUID String to a more readable version.

newInstance

public static NativeGuid newInstance()

generates a new NativeGuid

Returns:

a new instance of the NativeGuid class

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

return the 'byte' form of the NativeGuid

Returns:

a byte array containing the NativeGuid bytes

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Retrieves the NativeGuid in a string format

Returns:

the NativeGuid in a string format

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Compare the NativeGuid in a string format

Returns:

true if they are equal, false otherwise

hashCode

public int hashCode()

return the hashcode of this object for hashing purposes

Returns:

the integer hashcode of the NativeGuid

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clones a NativeGuid object

Returns:

a clone of an existing NativeGuid object

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

main function used for testing
