Method Detail

getTypedValue

java.lang.Object getTypedValue(java.lang.String dataType,
                               java.lang.Object dataValue)
                               throws TypeNotFoundException

Convert the data in the dataValue parameter into a Java object that matches the dataType provided.

Parameters:

dataType - Required type to be produced

dataValue - The raw data to be parsed

Returns:

A Java of type dataType with the value held in dataValue

Throws:

TypeNotFoundException

composeTypedValue

java.lang.Object composeTypedValue(java.lang.String dataType,
                                   java.lang.Object dataValue,
                                   int size)
                                   throws TypeNotFoundException

Composes the representation of the data type to be used in the message format.

Parameters:

dataType - Required type to be composed

dataValue - The current object value to be marshalled

size - The length of the data to be created e.g. (2 byte for int)

Returns:

The marshalled result which will typically be a byte array

Throws:

TypeNotFoundException

getConstantValue

java.lang.Object getConstantValue(java.lang.String type,
                                  java.lang.String constant)

getFunctionResult

java.lang.Object getFunctionResult(java.lang.String function,
                                   java.lang.Object parameter)

getFunctionResult

java.lang.Object getFunctionResult(java.lang.String function)

decode

java.lang.Object decode(java.lang.String name,
                        java.lang.Object data)
                        throws TypeNotFoundException

Throws:

TypeNotFoundException

toByteArray

byte[] toByteArray(java.util.BitSet bits)

getTextTypedValue

java.lang.Object getTextTypedValue(java.lang.String dataType,
                                   java.lang.Object dataValue)
                                   throws TypeNotFoundException

Throws:

TypeNotFoundException
