Fill the fields from the data

The data consists of sets of string data. This string data is arranged as follows:

 short  string_length;   // length of string data
 byte   string_flag;     // flag specifying special string
                         // handling
 short  run_count;       // optional count of formatting runs
 int    extend_length;   // optional extension length
 char[] string_data;     // string data, can be byte[] or
                         // short[] (length of array is
                         // string_length)
 int[]  formatting_runs; // optional formatting runs (length of
                         // array is run_count)
 byte[] extension;       // optional extension (length of array
                         // is extend_length)
 

The string_flag is bit mapped as follows:

Bit number	Meaning if 0	Meaning if 1
0	string_data is byte[]	string_data is short[]
1	Should always be 0	string_flag is defective
2	extension is not included	extension is included
3	formatting run data is not included	formatting run data is included
4	Should always be 0	string_flag is defective
5	Should always be 0	string_flag is defective
6	Should always be 0	string_flag is defective
7	Should always be 0	string_flag is defective

We can handle eating the overhead associated with bits 2 or 3 (or both) being set, but we have no idea what to do with the associated data. The UnicodeString class can handle the byte[] vs short[] nature of the actual string data

Parameters:

in - the RecordInputStream to read the record from

Method Detail

addString

public int addString(UnicodeString string)

Add a string.

Parameters:

string - string to be added

Returns:

the index of that string in the table

getNumStrings

public int getNumStrings()

Returns:

number of strings

getNumUniqueStrings

public int getNumUniqueStrings()

Returns:

number of unique strings

getString

public UnicodeString getString(int id)

Get a particular string by its index

Parameters:

id - index into the array of strings

Returns:

the desired string

toString

public String toString()

Return a debugging string representation

Overrides:

toString in class Record

Returns:

string representation

getSid

public short getSid()

Description copied from class: Record

return the non static version of the id for this record.

Specified by:

getSid in class Record

Returns:

he id for this record

createExtSSTRecord

public ExtSSTRecord createExtSSTRecord(int sstOffset)

Creates an extended string record based on the current contents of the current SST record. The offset within the stream to the SST record is required because the extended string record points directly to the strings in the SST record.

NOTE: THIS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE CALLED AFTER THE SST RECORD HAS BEEN SERIALIZED.

Parameters:

sstOffset - The offset in the stream to the start of the SST record.

Returns:

The new SST record.

calcExtSSTRecordSize

public int calcExtSSTRecordSize()

Calculates the size in bytes of the EXTSST record as it would be if the record was serialized.

Returns:

The size of the ExtSST record in bytes.
