Method Summary

Hash	calculateHash() Calculate the SHA256 value of this object (useful for a few scenarios)
void	fromBase64(String data) Load the structure from the base 64 encoded data provided
void	fromByteArray(byte[] data)
void	readBytes(InputStream in) Load up the current object with data from the given stream.
String	toBase64() render the structure into modified base 64 notation
byte[]	toByteArray()
void	writeBytes(OutputStream out) Write out the data structure to the stream, using the format defined in the I2P data structure specification.

Method Detail

readBytes

void readBytes(InputStream in)
               throws DataFormatException,
                      IOException

Load up the current object with data from the given stream. Data loaded this way must match the I2P data structure specification.

Parameters:

in - stream to read from

Throws:

DataFormatException - if the data is improperly formatted

IOException - if there was a problem reading the stream

writeBytes

void writeBytes(OutputStream out)
                throws DataFormatException,
                       IOException

Write out the data structure to the stream, using the format defined in the I2P data structure specification.

Parameters:

out - stream to write to

Throws:

DataFormatException - if the data was incomplete or not yet ready to be written

IOException - if there was a problem writing to the stream

toBase64

String toBase64()

render the structure into modified base 64 notation

Returns:

null on error

fromBase64

void fromBase64(String data)
                throws DataFormatException

Load the structure from the base 64 encoded data provided

Throws:

DataFormatException

toByteArray

byte[] toByteArray()

fromByteArray

void fromByteArray(byte[] data)
                   throws DataFormatException

Throws:

DataFormatException

calculateHash

Hash calculateHash()

Calculate the SHA256 value of this object (useful for a few scenarios)

Returns:

SHA256 hash, or null if there were problems (data format or io errors)
