public class TupleOutput
extends FastOutputStream

An OutputStream with DataOutput-like methods for writing tuple fields. It is used by TupleBinding.

This class has many methods that have the same signatures as methods in the DataOutput interface. The reason this class does not implement DataOutput is because it would break the interface contract for those methods because of data format differences.

TupleOutput

public TupleOutput()

Creates a tuple output object for writing a byte array of tuple data.

TupleOutput

public TupleOutput(byte[] buffer)

Creates a tuple output object for writing a byte array of tuple data, using a given buffer. A new buffer will be allocated only if the number of bytes needed is greater than the length of this buffer. A reference to the byte array will be kept by this object and therefore the byte array should not be modified while this object is in use.

Parameters:

buffer - is the byte array to use as the buffer.

writeBytes

public final TupleOutput writeBytes(String val)

Writes the specified bytes to the buffer, converting each character to an unsigned byte value. Writes values that can be read using TupleInput.readBytes(int).

Parameters:

val - is the string containing the values to be written. Only characters with values below 0x100 may be written using this method, since the high-order 8 bits of all characters are discarded.

Returns:

this tuple output object.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the val parameter is null.

Integer Formats

writeChars

public final TupleOutput writeChars(String val)

Writes the specified characters to the buffer, converting each character to a two byte unsigned value. Writes values that can be read using TupleInput.readChars(int).

Parameters:

val - is the string containing the characters to be written.

Returns:

this tuple output object.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the val parameter is null.

Integer Formats

writeString

public final TupleOutput writeString(String val)

Writes the specified characters to the buffer, converting each character to UTF format, and adding a null terminator byte. Writes values that can be read using TupleInput.readString().

Parameters:

val - is the string containing the characters to be written.

Returns:

this tuple output object.

writeChar

public final TupleOutput writeChar(int val)
