Method Detail

serialize

public final byte[] serialize()

called by the class that is responsible for writing this sucker. Subclasses should implement this so that their data is passed back in a byte array.

Returns:

byte array containing instance data

toString

public String toString()

get a string representation of the record (for biffview/debugging)

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getSid

public abstract short getSid()

return the non static version of the id for this record.

clone

public Object clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

cloneViaReserialise

public Record cloneViaReserialise()

Clone the current record, via a call to serialize it, and another to create a new record from the bytes. May only be used for classes which don't have internal counts / ids in them. For those which do, a full model-aware cloning is needed, which allocates new ids / counts as needed.
