Detailed Description

A Java class that acts as a baseclass for concrete peer type implementations.

Most concrete peer types might not have to add anything to the implementation of this class. The major driver for subclassing will in all likeliehood be the need to implement one or more interfaces.

For example, the com.codemesh.peer.SerializablePeer type is created by simply mixing in the java.io.Serializable interface.

byte [] com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_binaryData (   )  [inline]

Returns the native instance's data in the form of an array of bytes. It is the native type's responsibility to parse the byte array. Implements com::codemesh::peer::PeerType.

boolean com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_boolean (  String  fieldName  )  throws PeerException [inline]

Returns the field's value. Exceptions: PeerException  if the field cannot be found or if it is not of the correct type. Implements com::codemesh::peer::PeerType.

byte com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_byte (  String  fieldName  )  throws PeerException [inline]

Returns the field's value. Exceptions: PeerException  if the field cannot be found or if it is not of the correct type. Implements com::codemesh::peer::PeerType.

char com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_char (  String  fieldName  )  throws PeerException [inline]

double com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_double (  String  fieldName  )  throws PeerException [inline]

Returns the field's value. Exceptions: PeerException  if the field cannot be found or if it is not of the correct type. Implements com::codemesh::peer::PeerType.

float com::codemesh::peer::AbstractPeerType::get_float (  String  fieldName  )  throws PeerException [inline]
