Method Detail

getSize

public int getSize()

Return the size in bytes of this datatype as it was/is held in file this will be effected by the encoding type.

Specified by:

getSize in class AbstractDataType

Returns:

the size

setSize

protected void setSize(int size)

Sets the size in bytes of this data type. This is set after writing the data to allow us to recalculate the size for frame header.

Parameters:

size -

public java.lang.String toString()

Return String representation of data type

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of the value

canBeEncoded

public boolean canBeEncoded()

Check the value can be encoded with the specified encoding

Returns:
