Interface BaseMarshallerDelegate<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

EnumMarshallerDelegate

public interface BaseMarshallerDelegate<T>

The marshallers (descendants of BaseMarshaller) do not have a uniform interface, so an extra layer of indirection is used to provide uniformity. A delegate object wraps the real marshaller and delegates actual marshalling to it, taking into account the specific interface differences for each kind of marshaller (EnumMarshaller, MessageMarshaller, RawProtobufMarshaller).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
BaseMarshaller<T>	getMarshaller()	Gets the wrapped marshaller.
void	marshall(FieldDescriptor fieldDescriptor, T value, org.infinispan.protostream.impl.ProtoStreamWriterImpl writer, RawProtoStreamWriter out)	Marshalls an object.

Method Detail

getMarshaller

BaseMarshaller<T> getMarshaller()

Gets the wrapped marshaller.

Returns:

the wrapped marshaller instance

marshall

void marshall(FieldDescriptor fieldDescriptor,
              T value,
              org.infinispan.protostream.impl.ProtoStreamWriterImpl writer,
              RawProtoStreamWriter out)
       throws IOException

Marshalls an object.

Parameters:

fieldDescriptor - the FieldDescriptor of the field being marshalled or null if this is a top-level object

value - the value being marshalled (cannot be null)

writer - the ProtoStreamWriterImpl instance to use/re-use, if the specific marshaller type needs one; can be null in which case the delegate has to create a ProtoStreamWriterImpl instance itself based on the out parameter

out - the Protobuf tag output stream (cannot be null)

Throws:

IOException - if marshalling fails for some reason

unmarshall

T unmarshall(FieldDescriptor fieldDescriptor,
             org.infinispan.protostream.impl.ProtoStreamReaderImpl reader,
             RawProtoStreamReader in)
      throws IOException

Unmarshalls an object.

Parameters:

fieldDescriptor - the FieldDescriptor of the field being unmarshalled or null if this is a top-level object

reader - the ProtoStreamReaderImpl instance to use/re-use, if the specific marshaller type needs one; can be null in which case the delegate has to create a ProtoStreamReaderImpl instance itself based on the in parameter

in - the Protobuf tag input stream (cannot be null)

Throws:

IOException - if unmarshalling fails for some reason
