Method Detail

serialize

protected abstract void serialize(ContinuableRecordOutput out)

Serializes this record's content to the supplied data output.
The standard BIFF header (ushort sid, ushort size) has been handled by the superclass, so only BIFF data should be written by this method. Simple data types can be written with the standard LittleEndianOutput methods. Methods from ContinuableRecordOutput can be used to serialize strings (with ContinueRecords being written as required). If necessary, implementors can explicitly start ContinueRecords (regardless of the amount of remaining space).

Parameters:

out - a data output stream

getRecordSize

public final int getRecordSize()

Description copied from class: RecordBase

gives the current serialized size of the record. Should include the sid and reclength (4 bytes).

Specified by:

getRecordSize in class RecordBase

Returns:

the total length of the encoded record(s) (Note - if any ContinueRecord is required, this result includes the size of those too)

serialize

public final int serialize(int offset,
                           byte[] data)

Description copied from class: RecordBase

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.

Specified by:

serialize in class RecordBase

Parameters:

offset - to begin writing at

data - byte array containing instance data

Returns:

number of bytes written
