    • Method Detail

      • getTypeId

        int getTypeId()
        Obtain the POF type identifier for this value.
        Returns:
        POF type identifier for this value
      • getRoot

        PofValue getRoot()
        Return the root of the hierarchy this value belongs to.
        Returns:
        the root value
      • getParent

        PofValue getParent()
        Return the parent of this value.
        Returns:
        the parent value, or null if this is root value
      • getChild

        PofValue getChild​(int nIndex)
        Locate a child PofValue contained within this PofValue.

        Note: the returned PofValue could represent a non-existent (null) value.

        Parameters:
        nIndex - index of the child value
        Returns:
        the child PofValue
        Throws:
        PofNavigationException - if this value is a "terminal" or the child value cannot be located for any other reason
      • getValue

        Object getValue()
        Return the deserialized value which this PofValue represents.

        Note: For primitive types such as int or boolean, the POF type is not stored in the POF stream. Therefore, for primitive types, the type or class must be explicitly specified via getValue(int) or getValue(Class).

        Returns:
        the deserialized value
      • getValue

        Object getValue​(Class clz)
        Return the deserialized value which this PofValue represents.

        Note: For primitive types such as int or boolean, the POF type is not stored in the POF stream. Therefore, for primitive types, the clz parameter must not be null.

        Parameters:
        clz - the required class of the returned value or null if the class is to be inferred from the serialized state
        Returns:
        the deserialized value
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if the value is incompatible with the specified class
      • getValue

        Object getValue​(int nType)
        Return the deserialized value which this PofValue represents.

        Note: For primitive types such as int or boolean, the POF type is not stored in the POF stream. Therefore, for primitive types, the type must be explicitly specified with the nType parameter.

        Parameters:
        nType - the required POF type of the returned value or PofConstants.T_UNKNOWN if the type is to be inferred from the serialized state
        Returns:
        the deserialized value
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if the value is incompatible with the specified type
      • setValue

        void setValue​(Object oValue)
        Update this PofValue.

        The changes made using this method will be immediately reflected in the result of getValue() method, but will not be applied to the underlying POF stream until the applyChanges() method is invoked on the root PofValue.

        Parameters:
        oValue - new deserialized value for this PofValue
      • applyChanges

        Note: this method can only be called on the root PofValue.

        Returns:
        new Binary object that contains modified PofValue
        Throws:
        UnsupportedOperationException - if called on a non-root PofValue
