Class BinaryValue

java.lang.Object
  com.bea.content.BinaryValue

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class BinaryValue

extends Object

implements Serializable

This class represents binary content. It contains the binary data along with binary metadata.

A BinaryValue must always contain the contentType, name and size. If the bytes are not present (they are not contained on when retrieving a Property for performance reasons), they can be retrieved through NodeOps for Property bytes and ObjectClassOps for PropertyChoice bytes. A size of -1, means it is not available.

After using a BinaryValue, it is necessary to close the value InputStream.
