Constructor Summary
protected ByteArrayWriteBuffer()
          Default constructor; intended only for use by subclasses.
  ByteArrayWriteBuffer(byte[] ab)
          Construct a ByteArrayWriteBuffer on a byte array.
  ByteArrayWriteBuffer(int cbCap)
          Construct an ByteArrayWriteBuffer with a certain initial capacity.
  ByteArrayWriteBuffer(int cbCap, int cbMax)
          Construct an ByteArrayWriteBuffer with a certain initial capacity and a certain maximum capacity.
  ByteArrayWriteBuffer(WriteBuffer buffer, int i, int cb)
          Create a new ByteArrayWriteBuffer based on a region of an already existing WriteBuffer.

 

Method Summary
protected  void checkBounds(int of, int cb)
          Validate the ranges for the passed bounds and make sure that the underlying array is big enough to handle them.
protected  int copyStream(int ofDest, InputStreaming stream, int cbMax)
          Store the remaining contents of the specified InputStreaming object at the specified offset within this buffer.
 WriteBuffer.BufferOutput getBufferOutput(int of)
          Get a BufferOutput object to write data to this buffer starting at a particular offset.

Note that each call to this method will return a new BufferOutput object, with the possible exception being that a zero-length non-resizing WriteBuffer could always return the same instance (since it is not writable).

This is functionally equivalent to:


 BufferOutput bufout = getBufferOutput();
 bufout.setOffset(of);
 return bufout;
 
 int getCapacity()
          Determine the number of bytes that the buffer can hold without resizing itself. In other words, a WriteBuffer has getCapacity() - WriteBuffer.length() bytes that can be written to it without overflowing the current underlying buffer allocation. Since the buffer is an abstract concept, the actual mechanism for the underlying buffer is not known, but it could be a Java NIO buffer, or a byte array, etc.

Note that if the maximum size returned by WriteBuffer.getMaximumCapacity() is greater than the current size returned by this method, then the WriteBuffer will automatically resize itself to allocate more space when the amount of data written to it passes the current size.

 int getMaximumCapacity()
          Determine the maximum number of bytes that the buffer can hold. If the maximum size is greater than the current size, then the buffer is expected to resize itself as necessary up to the maximum size in order to contain the data given to it.
 byte[] getRawByteArray()
          Obtain the byte array that this WriteBuffer uses.
 ReadBuffer getUnsafeReadBuffer()
          Get a ReadBuffer object to read data from this buffer. This method is not guaranteed to return a snapshot of this buffer's data, nor is it guaranteed to return a live view of this buffer, which means that subsequent changes to this WriteBuffer may or may not affect the contents and / or the length of the returned ReadBuffer.

To get a snapshot, use the WriteBuffer.getReadBuffer() method.

protected  void grow(int cbCap)
          Grow the underlying byte array to at least the specified size.
 boolean isByteArrayPrivate()
          Determine if the underlying byte[] should be treated as private data.
 int length()
          Determine the length of the data that is in the buffer. This is the actual number of bytes of data that have been written to the buffer, not the capacity of the buffer.
 void makeByteArrayPrivate()
          Make sure that the underlying byte[] will be treated as private data.
 void retain(int of, int cb)
          Starting with the byte at offset of, retain cb bytes in this WriteBuffer, such that the byte at offset of is shifted to offset 0, the byte at offset of + 1 is shifted to offset 1, and so on up to the byte at offset of + cb - 1, which is shifted to offset cb - 1. After this method, the length of the buffer as indicated by the WriteBuffer.length() method will be equal to cb.

Legal values for the offset of the first byte to retain of are (of >= 0 && of <= WriteBuffer.length()). Legal values for the number of bytes to retain cb are (cb >= 0 && cb <= WriteBuffer.length()), such that (of + cb <= WriteBuffer.length()).

If cb is zero, then this method will have the same effect as clear. If of is zero, then this method will have the effect of truncating the data in the buffer, but no bytes will be shifted within the buffer.

The effect on the capacity of the buffer is implementation-specific; some implementations are expected to retain the same capacity while others are expected to shrink accordingly.

 void setLength(int cb)
          Reconfigure the length of the buffer.
 Binary toBinary()
          Returns a new Binary object that holds the complete contents of this WriteBuffer.

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 return getUnsafeReadBuffer().toBinary();
 
 byte[] toByteArray()
          Returns a new byte array that holds the complete contents of this WriteBuffer.

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 return getUnsafeReadBuffer().toByteArray();
 
For efficiency purposes, it is possible to obtain the internal byte array that the ByteArrayWriteBuffer is using by calling getRawByteArray(); if the internal byte array is private (i.e. if it cannot be exposed to the caller), then the result will be the same as would be returned by toByteArray().
protected  void updateLength(int cb)
          Update the length if the passed length is greater than the current buffer length.
 void write(int ofDest, byte b)
          Store the specified byte at the specified offset within the buffer.

For purposes of side-effects and potential exceptions, this method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 byte[] abSrc = new byte[1];
 abSrc[0] = b;
 write(ofDest, abSrc, 0, abSrc.length);
 
 void write(int ofDest, byte[] abSrc, int ofSrc, int cbSrc)
          Store the specified number of bytes from the specified location within the passed byte array at the specified offset within this buffer.

As a result of this method, the buffer length as reported by the WriteBuffer.length() method will become Math.max(WriteBuffer.length(), ofDest + cbSrc).

As a result of this method, the buffer capacity as reported by the WriteBuffer.getCapacity() method will not change if the new value returned by WriteBuffer.length() would not exceed the old value returned by WriteBuffer.getCapacity(); otherwise, the capacity will be increased such that WriteBuffer.getCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.length(). Regardless, it is always true that WriteBuffer.getCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.length() and WriteBuffer.getMaximumCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.getCapacity(). If the buffer capacity cannot be increased due to resource constraints, an undesignated Error or RuntimeException will be thrown, such as OutOfMemoryError.

 void write(int ofDest, InputStreaming stream, int cbSrc)
          Store the specified number of bytes from the specified InputStreaming object at the specified offset within this buffer.

For purposes of side-effects and potential exceptions, this method is functionally similar to the following code:


 DataInputStream streamData = new DataInputStream(
         new WrapperInputStream(stream));
 byte[] abSrc = new byte[cbSrc];
 streamData.readFully(abSrc);
 write(ofDest, abSrc, 0, abSrc.length);
 
 void write(int ofDest, ReadBuffer bufSrc, int ofSrc, int cbSrc)
          Store the specified portion of the contents of the specified ReadBuffer at the specified offset within this buffer.

For purposes of side-effects and potential exceptions, this method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 byte[] abSrc = bufSrc.toByteArray(ofSrc, cbSrc);
 write(ofDest, abSrc, 0, abSrc.length);
