Class PofBufferWriter.UserTypeWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:
PofConstants, PofWriter
Enclosing class:
PofBufferWriter

public static class PofBufferWriter.UserTypeWriter extends PofBufferWriter
The UserTypeWriter implementation is a contextually-aware PofWriter whose purpose is to write the properties of a value of a specified user type. The "contextual awareness" refers to the fact that the UserTypeWriter maintains state about the type identifier, the PofWriter's property index position within the user type value, and a PofContext that may differ from the PofContext that provided the PofSerializer which is using this UserTypeWriter to serialize a user type.

    • writeRemainder

      public void writeRemainder(Binary binProps) throws IOException
      Write the remaining properties to the POF stream, terminating the writing of the current user type. As part of writing out a user type, this method must be called by the PofSerializer that is writing out the user type, or the POF stream will be corrupted.

      Calling this method terminates the current user type by writing a -1 to the POF stream after the last indexed property. Subsequent calls to the various writeXYZ methods of this interface will fail after this method is called.

      Specified by:
      writeRemainder in interface PofWriter
      Overrides:
      writeRemainder in class PofBufferWriter
      Parameters:
      binProps - a Binary object containing zero or more indexed properties in binary POF encoded form; may be null
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
    • getParentWriter

      If this writer is contextually within a user type, obtain the writer which created this writer in order to write the user type.
      Overrides:
      getParentWriter in class PofBufferWriter
      Returns:
      the containing writer
    • beginProperty

      protected void beginProperty(int iProp) throws IOException
      Report that a POF property is about to be written to the POF stream.

      This method call will be followed by one or more separate calls to a "write" method and the property extent will then be terminated by a call to PofBufferWriter.endProperty(int).

      Overrides:
      beginProperty in class PofBufferWriter
      Parameters:
      iProp - the index of the property being written
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs

      Parameters:
      iProp - the index of the current property
    • closeNested

      protected void closeNested()

    • onException

      protected void onException(Exception e) throws IOException
      Called when an unexpected exception is caught while writing to the POF stream.

      If the given exception wraps an IOException, the IOException is unwrapped and rethrown; otherwise the given exception is rethrown.
