Property

public class Property extends Object

A property in a {@link Section} of a {@link PropertySet}.

The property's ID gives the property a meaning in the context of its {@link Section}. Each {@link Section} spans its own name space of property IDs.

The property's type determines how its value is interpreted. For example, if the type is {@link Variant#VT_LPSTR} (byte string), the value consists of a DWord telling how many bytes the string contains. The bytes follow immediately, including any null bytes that terminate the string. The type {@link Variant#VT_I4} denotes a four-byte integer value, {@link Variant#VT_FILETIME} some date and time (of a file).

Please note that not all {@link Variant} types yet. This might change over time but largely depends on your feedback so that the POI team knows which variant types are really needed. So please feel free to submit error reports or patches for the types you need.

Fields Summary
protected long
id

The property's ID.

protected long
type

The property's type.

protected Object
value

The property's value.

Constructors Summary
public Property(long id, long type, Object value)

Creates a property.

param
id the property's ID.
param
type the property's type, see {@link Variant}.
param
value the property's value. Only certain types are allowed, see {@link Variant}.

        this.id = id;
        this.type = type;
        this.value = value;
    
public Property(long id, byte[] src, long offset, int length, int codepage)

Creates a {@link Property} instance by reading its bytes from the property set stream.

param
id The property's ID.
param
src The bytes the property set stream consists of.
param
offset The property's type/value pair's offset in the section.
param
length The property's type/value pair's length in bytes.
param
codepage The section's and thus the property's codepage. It is needed only when reading string values.
exception
UnsupportedEncodingException if the specified codepage is not supported.

        this.id = id;

        /*
         * ID 0 is a special case since it specifies a dictionary of
         * property IDs and property names.
         */

        {
            value = readDictionary(src, offset, length, codepage);
            return;
        }

        int o = (int) offset;
        type = LittleEndian.getUInt(src, o);
        o += LittleEndian.INT_SIZE;

        try
        {

        }
        catch (UnsupportedVariantTypeException ex)
        {
            VariantSupport.writeUnsupportedTypeMessage(ex);
            value = ex.getValue();
        }
    
protected Property()

Creates an empty property. It must be filled using the set method to be usable.

 
Methods Summary
public booleanequals(java.lang.Object o)

Compares two properties.

Please beware that a property with ID == 0 is a special case: It does not have a type, and its value is the section's dictionary. Another special case are strings: Two properties may have the different types Variant.VT_LPSTR and Variant.VT_LPWSTR;
