All Implemented Interfaces:

DataBinding

public class TupleMarshalledBinding

extends TupleBinding

A concrete key or value binding that uses the MarshalledTupleData interface. It works by calling the methods of the MarshalledTupleData interface, which must be implemented by the key or value class, to convert between the key or value data and the object. use the TupleInput.TupleInput(TupleOutput) constructor.

Constructor Summary

TupleMarshalledBinding(TupleFormat format, Class cls)
Creates a tuple marshalled binding object.

Method Summary

Object	dataToObject(TupleInput input) Constructs a key or value object from TupleInput data.
void	objectToData(Object object, TupleOutput output) Converts a key or value object to a tuple data.

Constructor Detail

TupleMarshalledBinding

public TupleMarshalledBinding(TupleFormat format,
                              Class cls)

Creates a tuple marshalled binding object.

The given class is used to instantiate key or value objects using Class.forName(java.lang.String), and therefore must be a public class and have a public no-arguments constructor. It must also implement the MarshalledTupleData interface.

Parameters:

format - is the format of the new binding.

cls - is the class of the key or value objects.
