Specified by:

typeCheck in class DmcAttribute<Short>

Parameters:

value - the value to be checked

Returns:

a value holder

Throws:

DmcValueException - if the value is incorrect

cloneValue

public Short cloneValue(Short original)

Description copied from class: DmcAttribute

Specified by:

cloneValue in class DmcAttribute<Short>

Parameters:

original - the original value

Returns:

A clone of the value.

serializeValue

public void serializeValue(DmcOutputStreamIF dos,
                           Short value)
                    throws Exception

Write a Short.

Specified by:

serializeValue in class DmcAttribute<Short>

Parameters:

dos - The output stream.

value - The value to be serialized.

Throws:

Exception

deserializeValue

public Short deserializeValue(DmcInputStreamIF dis)
                       throws Exception
