Class TypedValueDecoder
- Direct Known Subclasses:
ValueDecoderFactory.DecoderBase
TypedXMLStreamReader
to allow for efficient customized
decoding of textual xml content into actual typed values.
Set of concrete decoders is also included in the reference
implementation of the Typed Access API.
Details of how value decoded is to be accessed is NOT defined as part of this interface: since decoders are explicitly passed by callers, they can (and need to) use more specific sub-classes with value access method or methods.
Note: to allow for optimal efficiency, there are multiple decode methods, one of which gets called during decoding process. This is necessary since the stream reader implementations may use different internal representations, either in general (an implementation might stored everyting as Strings; another as character arrays).

decode
Method used to invoke decoding functionality, for decoding the value encoded in given substring. It is to try decoding value, and either store decoded value for later access (using method(s) caller knows about), or throw an exception to indicate problem encountered.Note: method will get called with "trimmed" input, i.e. input will never have any leading or trailing white space. It will also never be called with empty content (
handleEmptyValue()
is called instead for such cases)- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException

handleEmptyValue
Method called in cases where value to decode would be empty, after trimming leading and trailing white space. Decoder can then either change its state (to contain value to return) or throw appropriate exception- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
