Class BigDecimalHelper

public class BigDecimalHelper
extends Object
Reads and writes BigDecimal as CORBA fixed. The format, described in CORBA specification, requires to store data in hexadecimal format, two digits per byte (oceted), most significant digit first. The last half-byte in the representation stores the sign, being 0xD for negative numbers and 0xC for zero and positive numbers. To have the even number of half bytes, 0x0 is appended to the beginning, if required. The position of the decimal point is not stored.

read(InputStream in, int scale)
