Class SwiftValueBlock

java.lang.Object

com.prowidesoftware.swift.model.SwiftBlock

com.prowidesoftware.swift.model.SwiftValueBlock

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

SwiftBlock1, SwiftBlock2

public abstract class SwiftValueBlock
extends SwiftBlock
implements java.io.Serializable

Base class for SWIFT blocks that contain its fields concatenated as a single fixed length value; blocks 1 and 2.
This is an abstract class so specific block classes for each block should be instantiated.

Since:

4.0

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getBlockValue() This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
java.lang.String	getValue() This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
boolean	isEmpty() Tells if the block contains at least one field.
void	setBlockValue(java.lang.String value) This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
void	setValue(java.lang.String value) This method should be overwritten by subclasses and proper parsing be done to set specific values of the block, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
int	size() Tells the block's string value size (in chars). NOTICE this does not return the actual number of fields set because value blocks are mostly fixed length.

This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Returns:

N/A

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

the blocks value as a single string

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.String value)

This method should be overwritten by subclasses and proper parsing be done to set specific values of the block, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Parameters:

value - the blocks value as a single string

setBlockValue

public void setBlockValue(java.lang.String value)

This method should be overwritten by subclasses, calling this method will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Parameters:

value - unused

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Tells if the block contains at least one field. This method must be called on specific subclasses, calling it for SwiftValueBlock will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Returns:

true if getValue returns a non null object

size

public int size()

Tells the block's string value size (in chars).
NOTICE this does not return the actual number of fields set because value blocks are mostly fixed length. This method must be called on specific subclasses, calling it for SwiftValueBlock will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Returns:

the size of the value or zero if value is null
