Constructor Detail

IdentifierSerializer

public IdentifierSerializer(org.palladiosimulator.metricspec.TextualBaseMetricDescription metricDescription)

Method Detail

getElementLength

public long getElementLength()

Specified by:

getElementLength in interface Serializer<org.palladiosimulator.metricspec.Identifier>

Returns:

The size of each element in serialised form, e.g., for doubles it could be 8 bytes (IEEE format). The result is not allowed to change at runtime

serialise

public byte[] serialise(Object[] objects,
                        int count)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Convert the given array of elements into their serialised form. Attention: Due to a flaw in Java Generics, this signature cannot be serialise(T[] objects, int count) as this leads to a class cast exception despite the fact that you pass the right array. We kept the Type parameter to get at least a type save deserialise.

Specified by:

serialise in interface Serializer<org.palladiosimulator.metricspec.Identifier>

Parameters:

objects - The array of elements to serialise

count - The number of elements to serialise

Returns:

The elements in their serialised form

deserialise

public org.palladiosimulator.metricspec.Identifier[] deserialise(byte[] bytes)

Description copied from interface: Serializer

Convert a serialised form into an array of elements of the serialiser's type

Specified by:

deserialise in interface Serializer<org.palladiosimulator.metricspec.Identifier>

Parameters:

bytes - The byte array to deserialise

Returns:

An array of elements deserialised from the given byte array
