Enum MethodEncoderLookup

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<MethodEncoderLookup>

net.openhft.chronicle.bytes.MethodEncoderLookup

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MethodEncoderLookup>, Function<Method,MethodEncoder>

public enum MethodEncoderLookup
extends Enum<MethodEncoderLookup>
implements Function<Method,MethodEncoder>

Enum singleton that implements Function interface to lookup and return a MethodEncoder for a given method. It applies the MethodId annotation found on the method to create the encoder. If the method does not have the MethodId annotation, it will return null.

The returned encoder can then be used to encode method calls into BytesOut and decode method calls from BytesIn, which can be used for serialization or for sending method calls over a network for example. The encoder supports objects that are instances of BytesMarshallable.

This enum is primarily used for encoding and decoding methods annotated with MethodId for efficient method representation.

Method Detail

values

public static MethodEncoderLookup[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MethodEncoderLookup c : MethodEncoderLookup.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MethodEncoderLookup valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

apply

public MethodEncoder apply(Method method)

Specified by:

apply in interface Function<Method,MethodEncoder>
