All Implemented Interfaces:

ByteArray, ByteProvider

public class PooledByteArray
extends ByteArrayImpl

This is an implementation of ByteArray that holds a pooled byte-array.

Since:

1.1.0

Field Summary

private int	childCount The number of children created.
private PooledByteArray	parent The parent that created this array.
private boolean	released

Constructor Summary

	PooledByteArray(byte[] buffer) The constructor.
	PooledByteArray(byte[] buffer, int startIndex, int maximumIndex) The constructor.
protected	PooledByteArray(byte[] buffer, int startIndex, int maximumIndex, PooledByteArray parent) The constructor.

Method Summary

ByteArrayImpl	createSubArray(int minimum, int maximum) This method creates a new ByteArray with the same bytes but the given indices. ATTENTION: If the implementation is immutable and the given minimum and maximum index are both equal to the current indices of this ByteArray this method may return the instance itself ( this) rather than creating a new one.
boolean	release() This method marks this array to be released.

                       int maximumIndex)

PooledByteArray

protected PooledByteArray(byte[] buffer,
                          int startIndex,
                          int maximumIndex,
                          PooledByteArray parent)

Parameters:

buffer - is the internal buffer.

startIndex - is the current index as well as the minimum index.

maximumIndex - is the maximum index.

Method Detail

createSubArray

public ByteArrayImpl createSubArray(int minimum,
                                    int maximum)

This method creates a new ByteArray with the same bytes but the given indices.
ATTENTION:
If the implementation is immutable and the given minimum and maximum index are both equal to the current indices of this ByteArray this method may return the instance itself ( this) rather than creating a new one.

Specified by:

createSubArray in interface ByteArray

Overrides:

createSubArray in class ByteArrayImpl

Parameters:

minimum - is the minimumIndex and the currentIndex for the new ByteArray. It has to be greater or equal to the minimumIndex of this ByteArray.

maximum - is the maximumIndex for the new ByteArray.

Returns:

a new ByteArray with the given indices.

release

public boolean release()

This method marks this array to be released.

Returns:

true if this array can be released, false if there are references left that have to be released before.
