Method Details

toSequence

public Sequence toSequence()

Provides the Sequence representation of this Transmission. In case of nested Transmission instances, all Sequence representations from all sub-segments are accumulated to the result as well. Caution, the Transmission (or its nested Transmission instances) may be backed by the returned Sequence.

Specified by:

toSequence in interface Transmission

Returns:

The according instance's Sequence.

fromTransmission

public int fromTransmission(Sequence aSequence,
 int aOffset)
                     throws TransmissionException

(Re-)initializes this instance with the the given Sequence data.

Specified by:

fromTransmission in interface Segment

Parameters:

aSequence - The Sequence data from which to (re-)initialize this instance.

aOffset - The offset where to start processing the provided Sequence.

Returns:

The index after the last offset into the given Sequence processed by this method.

Throws:

TransmissionException - thrown in case a given Sequence cannot be processed.

receiveFrom

public void receiveFrom(InputStream aInputStream,
 OutputStream aReturnStream)
                 throws IOException

(Re-)initializes this instance by receiving the according Sequence from the given InputStream. Implementations providing error correction methods use the provided feedback OutputStream to do some sort of "stop-and-wait ARQ" or apply similar methods to ensure correctness of the received data.

Specified by:

receiveFrom in interface Segment

Parameters:

aInputStream - The InputStream from which to read the instance's (re-)initialization Sequence from.

aReturnStream - An OutputStream being the return channel to handle "stop-and-wait ARQ" or the like in case of a bidirectional connection. Can be null in case we have a unidirectional connection.

Throws:

IOException - thrown in case reading data from the InputStream caused problems.

getLength

public int getLength()

Determines the overall length of this Transmission. In case of nested Transmission instances, all length values from all sub-segments are accumulated to the result as well.

Specified by:

getLength in interface LengthAccessor

Specified by:

getLength in interface Transmission

Returns:

The (overall) length of the Transmission (including any sub-segments).

transmitTo

public void transmitTo(OutputStream aOutputStream,
 InputStream aReturnStream)
                throws IOException

Transmits the Sequence representing the implementing type's instance to the given OutputStream. Implementations providing error correction methods use the provided feedback InputStream to do some sort of "stop-and-wait ARQ" or apply similar methods to ensure correctness of the transmitted data.

Specified by:

transmitTo in interface Transmission

Parameters:

aOutputStream - The OutputStream where to write this instance's Sequence to.

aReturnStream - An InputStream being the return channel to handle "stop-and-wait ARQ" or the like in case of a bidirectional connection. Can be null in case we have a unidirectional connection.

Throws:

IOException - thrown in case writing data to the OutputStream caused problems.

toSimpleTypeTable

public SimpleTypeTable toSimpleTypeTable()

Returns the ImmutableSimpleTypeTable representation of this Transmission. In case this Transmission has Transmission children, then the children are queried as well and contained in the resulting ImmutableSimpleTypeTable. The aliases of the according Transmission instances represent the resulting path to a Transmission's final simple type.

Specified by:

toSimpleTypeTable in interface Transmission
