Method Detail

serialize

public static void serialize(Rdn rdn,
                             java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Serialize a RDN instance A RDN is composed of on to many ATAVs (AttributeType And Value). We should write all those ATAVs sequencially, following the structure :

nbAtavs

The number of ATAVs to write. Can't be 0.

upName

The User provided RDN

normName

The normalized RDN. It can be empty if the normalized name equals the upName.

atavs

For each ATAV :

start

The position of this ATAV in the upName string

length

The ATAV user provided length

Call the ATAV write method

The ATAV itself

Parameters:

rdn - The RDN to serialize

out - the stream in which the RDN will be serialized

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If we can't write in this stream

deserialize

public static Rdn deserialize(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Deserialize a RDN instance We read back the data to create a new RDB. The structure read is exposed in the Rdn.writeExternal(ObjectOutput) method

Parameters:

in - The input stream from which the RDN is read

Returns:

a deserialized RDN

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If the stream can't be read
