com.sleepycat.bind.tuple

Class StringBinding

public class StringBinding extends TupleBinding

A concrete TupleBinding for a simple String value.

There are two ways to use this class:

When using the com.sleepycat.db package directly, the static methods in this class can be used to convert between primitive values and DatabaseEntry objects.
When using the com.sleepycat.collections package, an instance of this class can be used with any stored collection. The easiest way to obtain a binding instance is with the TupleBinding method.

Method Summary
Object	entryToObject(TupleInput input)

protected TupleOutput	getTupleOutput(Object object)
void	objectToEntry(Object object, TupleOutput output)
static void	stringToEntry(String val, DatabaseEntry entry) Converts a simple `String` value into an entry buffer.
