Adds writing capability to the Section class.

Please be aware that this class' functionality will be merged into the Section class at a later time, so the API will change.

      public MutableSection()

      Creates an empty mutable section.

    • MutableSection

      public MutableSection(Section s)

      Constructs a MutableSection by doing a deep copy of an existing Section. All nested Property instances, will be their mutable counterparts in the new MutableSection.

      Parameters:
      s - The section set to copy
  • Method Details

      public void setFormatID(ClassID formatID)

      Sets the section's format ID.

      Parameters:
      formatID - The section's format ID

    • setFormatID

      public void setFormatID(byte[] formatID)

      Sets the section's format ID.

      Parameters:
      formatID - The section's format ID as a byte array. It components are in big-endian format.

    • setProperties

      public void setProperties(Property[] properties)

      Sets this section's properties. Any former values are overwritten.

      Parameters:
      properties - This section's new properties.
    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, String value)

      Sets the string value of the property with the specified ID.

      Parameters:
      id - The property's ID
      value - The property's value. It will be written as a Unicode string.

    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, int value)

      Sets the int value of the property with the specified ID.

      Parameters:
      id - The property's ID
      value - The property's value.
      See Also:
    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, long value)

      Sets the long value of the property with the specified ID.

      Parameters:
      id - The property's ID
      value - The property's value.
      See Also:
    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, boolean value)

      Sets the boolean value of the property with the specified ID.

      Parameters:
      id - The property's ID
      value - The property's value.
      See Also:
    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, long variantType, Object value)

      Sets the value and the variant type of the property with the specified ID. If a property with this ID is not yet present in the section, it will be added. An already present property with the specified ID will be overwritten. A default mapping will be used to choose the property's type.

      Parameters:
      id - The property's ID.
      variantType - The property's variant type.
      value - The property's value.

    • removeProperty

      public void removeProperty(long id)

      Removes a property.

      Parameters:
      id - The ID of the property to be removed
    • setPropertyBooleanValue

      protected void setPropertyBooleanValue(int id, boolean value)

      Sets the value of the boolean property with the specified ID.

      Parameters:

    • getSize

      public int getSize()

      Returns the section's size.

      Overrides:
      getSize in class Section
      Returns:
      the section's size.
    • write

      public int write(OutputStream out) throws WritingNotSupportedException, IOException

      Writes this section into an output stream.

      Internally this is done by writing into three byte array output streams: one for the properties, one for the property list and one for the section as such. The two former are appended to the latter when they have received all their data.

      Parameters:
      out - The stream to write into.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes written, i.e. the section's size.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      WritingNotSupportedException - if HPSF does not yet support writing a property's variant type.
    • getPropertyCount

      public int getPropertyCount()

      Overwrites the super class' method to cope with a redundancy: the property count is maintained in a separate member variable, but shouldn't.

      Overrides:
      getPropertyCount in class Section
      Returns:
      The number of properties in this section
    • getProperties

      public Property[] getProperties()

      Gets this section's properties.

      Overrides:
      getProperties in class Section
      Returns:
      this section's properties.
    • getProperty

      public Object getProperty(long id)

      Gets a property.

      Overrides:
      getProperty in class Section
      Parameters:
      id - The ID of the property to get
      Returns:
      The property or null if there is no such property
    • setDictionary

      public void setDictionary(Map dictionary) throws IllegalPropertySetDataException

      Sets the section's dictionary. All keys in the dictionary must be Long instances, all values must be Strings. This method overwrites the properties with IDs 0 and 1 since they are reserved for the dictionary and the dictionary's codepage. Setting these properties explicitly might have surprising effects. An application should never do this but always use this method.

      Parameters:
      dictionary - The dictionary
      Throws:
      IllegalPropertySetDataException - if the dictionary's key and value types are not correct.
      See Also:
    • setProperty

      public void setProperty(int id, Object value)

      Sets a property.

      Parameters:
      id - The property ID.
      value - The property's value. The value's class must be one of those supported by HPSF.
    • clear

      public void clear()

      Removes all properties from the section including 0 (dictionary) and 1 (codepage).

    • setCodepage

      public void setCodepage(int codepage)

      Sets the codepage.

      Parameters:
      codepage - the codepage
