AbstractBlob

protected AbstractBlob()

AbstractBlob

protected AbstractBlob(Repository repo)

Use of this constructor indicates that setValue should operate within a transaction. A Repository is passed in for entering the transaction.

Parameters:

repo - optional repository to use for performing string conversion within transactions

Method Detail

asString

public String asString()
                throws FetchException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to capture all the Blob data as a single String, assuming UTF-8 encoding. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data does not change while the String is being built.

Specified by:

asString in interface Blob

Throws:

FetchException

asString

public String asString(String charsetName)
                throws FetchException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to capture all the Blob data as a single String, decoded against the given charset. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data does not change while the String is being built.

Specified by:

asString in interface Blob

Parameters:

charsetName - name of character set to decode String

Throws:

FetchException

asString

public String asString(Charset charset)
                throws FetchException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to capture all the Blob data as a single String, decoded against the given charset. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data does not change while the String is being built.

Specified by:

asString in interface Blob

Parameters:

charset - character set to decode String

Throws:

FetchException

setValue

public void setValue(String value)
              throws PersistException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to overwrite all Blob data with the value of a single String, applying UTF-8 encoding. The Blob length may grow or shrink, to match the encoded String value. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data and length does not change while the value is set.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Blob

Parameters:

value - Blob is overwritten with this value

Throws:

PersistException

setValue

public void setValue(String value,
                     String charsetName)
              throws PersistException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to overwrite all Blob data with the value of a single String, applying the given charset encoding. The Blob length may grow or shrink, to match the encoded String value. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data and length does not change while the value is set.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Blob

Parameters:

value - Blob is overwritten with this value

charsetName - name of character set to encode String

Throws:

PersistException

setValue

public void setValue(String value,
                     Charset charset)
              throws PersistException

Description copied from interface: Blob

Convenience method to overwrite all Blob data with the value of a single String, applying the given charset encoding. The Blob length may grow or shrink, to match the encoded String value. Call within a transaction scope to ensure the data and length does not change while the value is set.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Blob

Parameters:

value - Blob is overwritten with this value

charset - character set to encode String

Throws:

PersistException

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: Lob

Two Lobs are considered equal if the object instances are the same or if they point to the same content. Lob data is not compared, as that would be expensive or it may result in a fetch exception.

Specified by:

equals in interface Lob

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
