Constructor Detail

BinaryValue

public BinaryValue(String text)

Constructs a BinaryValue object based on a string.

Parameters:

text - the string this BinaryValue should represent

BinaryValue

public BinaryValue(InputStream stream)

Constructs a BinaryValue object based on a stream.

Parameters:

stream - the stream this BinaryValue should represent

BinaryValue

public BinaryValue(byte[] data)

Constructs a BinaryValue object based on a stream.

Parameters:

data - the stream this BinaryValue should represent

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a BinaryValue object that represents the same value as this object.

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns zero to satisfy the Object equals/hashCode contract. This class is mutable and not meant to be used as a hash key.

Returns:

always zero

                         throws ValueFormatException,
                                RepositoryException

Gets the string representation of this binary value.

Specified by:

getInternalString in class BaseValue

Returns:

string representation of this binary value.

Throws:

ValueFormatException

RepositoryException - if another error occurs

                      throws IllegalStateException,
                             RepositoryException

Specified by:

getStream in interface Value

Overrides:

getStream in class BaseValue

Throws:

IllegalStateException

RepositoryException
