Interface ORG.oclc.ber.DataDirObject
- public interface interface DataDirObject
DataDirObject is an interface that allows
various types of objects to be stored in a DataDir. The DataDir class
provides methods for storing and retrieving bitstrings, byte arrays,
Strings, numbers, and OIDs (Object Identifier from Z39.50). If you want
1) to store an object of an additional type and 2) do not want to
convert that object to a byte array or String then implement the object
from this interface. Use daddObj() to insert the object into a DataDir.
The implemented object will need a method to convert a byte array back
into the object since a DataDir built from a BerString only has byte
arrays.
