public interface Constructed

The base interface to SSL constructed types.

Contract for ByteBuffer-based constructed types:

Most implementations of this interface supported by this library take a "view" of an underlying ByteBuffer. The general contract of such classes is that they will not modify the position or limit of the buffer when doing read operations. That is, the position of the underlying buffer should remain at 0 throughout the lifetime of the object, and the limit should be either set to the capacity of the buffer, or to the size of the object (in most cases, the length of the protocol object is determined by the contents of the object, so the limit isn't useful in such cases. Of course, if the limit is set to something other than the object's length, it must be larger than the object length).

Setter methods (usually in a class that implements the Builder interface) may modify the limit, but the general contract remains that the position remain at zero, and that the limit be at least as large as the object length.

Thus, very often the code will use absolute getters and setters for primitive types, or it will use the ByteBuffer.duplicate() method, and sometimes the ByteBuffer.slice() method, and will change the position or limit of the duplicate buffer.
