Interface ValueStore

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayPrimitiveStore

public interface ValueStore

Interface for storing a vector of values. Depending on implementation, these values may be objects or primitives.

Since:

2 Nov 2005

Method Summary

void	get(long index, java.lang.Object array, int ioff, int count) Retrieves a vector of values from this object.
long	getLength() Returns the length of the vector.
java.lang.Class	getType() Returns the class of value which this object can store.
void	put(long index, java.lang.Object array, int ioff, int count) Stores a vector of values in this object.

Method Detail

getType

java.lang.Class getType()

Returns the class of value which this object can store.

Returns:

primitive class

getLength

long getLength()

Returns the length of the vector.

Returns:

vector length

put

void put(long index,
         java.lang.Object array,
         int ioff,
         int count)

Stores a vector of values in this object. array must be an array of values matching getType. Element ioff of array is stored at index index, elemnt ioff+1 at index+1, etc.

Parameters:

index - starting offset to write to

array - array of values to store

ioff - offset into array from which the first value is taken

count - number of values to transfer

get

void get(long index,
         java.lang.Object array,
         int ioff,
         int count)

Retrieves a vector of values from this object. array must be an array of type matching getType. Every element of array will be filled with values; the first retrieved from offset index, the second from index+1, etc.

Parameters:

index - starting offset

array - array to accept data

ioff - offset into array to which the first value is copied

count - number of values to transfer
