Method Detail

serialize

public static void serialize(AVA atav,
                             ObjectOutput out)
                      throws IOException

Serialize an AttributeTypeAndValue object. An AttributeTypeAndValue is composed of a type and a value. The data are stored following the structure :

upName The User provided ATAV start The position of this ATAV in the DN length The ATAV length upType The user Provided Type normType The normalized AttributeType isHR Tells if the value is a String or not

if the value is a String :

upValue The User Provided value. value The normalized value.

if the value is binary :

upValueLength upValue The User Provided value. valueLength value The normalized value.

Parameters:

atav - the AttributeTypeAndValue to serialize

out - the OutputStream in which the atav will be serialized

Throws:

IOException - If we can't serialize the atav

deserialize

public static AVA deserialize(ObjectInput in)
                       throws IOException

Deserialize an AttributeTypeAndValue object We read back the data to create a new ATAV. The structure read is exposed in the AVA.writeExternal(ObjectOutput) method

Parameters:

in - the input stream

Returns:

The constructed AttributeTypeAndValue

Throws:

IOException - If the input stream can't be read
