Methods Summary
public boolean	canBeEncoded() Check the value can be encoded with the specified encoding return //Try and write to buffer using the CharSet defined by the textEncoding field (note if using UTF16 we dont //need to worry about LE,BE at this point it makes no difference) byte textEncoding = this.getBody().getTextEncoding(); String charSetName = TextEncoding.getInstanceOf().getValueForId(textEncoding); CharsetEncoder encoder = Charset.forName(charSetName).newEncoder(); if (encoder.canEncode((String) value)) { return true; } else { logger.finest("Failed Trying to decode" + value + "with" + encoder.toString()); return false; }
public int	getSize() Return the size in bytes of this datatype as it was/is held in file this will be effected by the encoding type. return the size return size;
protected void	setSize(int size) Sets the size in bytes of this data type. This is set after writing the data to allow us to recalculate the size for frame header. param size this.size = size;
public java.lang.String	toString() Return String representation of data type return a string representation of the value return (String) value;
