Method Detail

getLoggingTimestamp

long getLoggingTimestamp()

Delivers the current timestamp of the record.

Returns:

The timestamp.

Since:

1.2

setLoggingTimestamp

void setLoggingTimestamp(long timestamp)

Sets the logging timestamp to a new value.

Parameters:

timestamp - The new timestamp for the record.

Since:

1.2

toString

String toString()

Creates a string representation of this record.

This method should not be used for serialization purposes since this is not the purpose of Object's toString method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A (human readable) string of this record.

Since:

1.5

toArray

Object[] toArray()

This method should deliver an array containing the content of the record. It should be possible to convert this array later into a record again.

Returns:

An array with the values of the record.

Since:

1.2

writeBytes

void writeBytes(ByteBuffer buffer,
                IRegistry<String> stringRegistry)
                throws BufferOverflowException

This method should deliver an byte array containing the content of the record. It should be possible to convert this array later into a record again.

Parameters:

buffer - The used ByteBuffer with sufficient capacity

stringRegistry - Usually the associated MonitoringController

Throws:

BufferOverflowException - if buffer not sufficient

Since:

1.8

initFromBytes

void initFromBytes(ByteBuffer buffer,
                   IRegistry<String> stringRegistry)
                   throws BufferUnderflowException

This method should initialize the record based on the given values. The array should be one of those resulting from a call to writeBytes(ByteBuffer, IRegistry).

Parameters:

buffer - The bytes for the record.

stringRegistry - The Registry storing the strings.

Throws:

BufferUnderflowException - if buffer not sufficient

Since:

1.8

initFromArray

void initFromArray(Object[] values)

This method should initialize the record based on the given values. The array should be one of those resulting from a call to toArray().

Parameters:

values - The values for the record.

Since:

1.2

getValueTypes

Class<?>[] getValueTypes()

This method should deliver an array with the classes of the single values for the record.

Returns:

The types of the values. This returned array should be treated readonly.

Since:

1.2

toArray()

getSize

int getSize()

This method should deliver the size of a binary representation of this record.

Returns:

The size.
