Interface MarshalledTupleEntry

public interface MarshalledTupleEntry

A marshalling interface implemented by key, data or entity classes that are represented as tuples.

Key classes implement this interface to marshal their key entry. Data or entity classes implement this interface to marshal their data entry. Implementations of this interface must have a public no arguments constructor so that they can be instantiated by a binding, prior to calling the unmarshalEntry(com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleInput) method.

Note that implementing this interface is not necessary when the object is a Java simple type, for example: String, Integer, etc. These types can be used with built-in bindings returned by TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class).
