Class StatelessContextSerializer

java.lang.Object
  com.highdeal.pnr.hci.StatelessContextSerializer

public class StatelessContextSerializer
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides methods for the serialization and unserialization of the StatelessRatingContext and StatelessPreRatingContext.

Objects are serialized (unserialized) to (from) byte arrays. What is done with these byte arrays is the reponsibility of the integration code.

The format of the byte arrays is:

• array[0]: the version number of the StatelessContextSerializer class used for serialization
• array[1] to array[8]: checksum of the (uncompressed) byte array representing the serialized object. This checksum is computed using Adler32 class.
• array[9]: compression flag
• array[10] array[13]: size of (uncompressed) data
• array[14] to array[array.lenght-1]: data (eventually compressed)

In case of compressed data, the used algorithm is the ZLIB compression provided by Deflater and Inflater.

Field Summary

static byte	COMPRESSED Flag for compressed data
static byte	NOT_COMPRESSED Flag for not compressed data
static byte	VERSION Flag indicating the version

Method Summary

static StatelessContextSerializer	getInstance() Returns the singleton instance for this class.
StatelessPreRatingContext	readStatelessPreRatingContext(byte[] bytes) Unserializes a byte array to a StatelessPreRatingContext.
StatelessRatingContext	readStatelessRatingContext(byte[] bytes) Unserializes a byte array to a StatelessRatingContext.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string representation of this object.
byte[]	writeStatelessPreRatingContext(StatelessPreRatingContext preRatingContext, boolean compress) Serializes the given StatelessPreRatingContext into a new allocated byte array.
byte[]	writeStatelessRatingContext(StatelessRatingContext ratingContext, boolean compress) Serializes the given StatelessRatingContext into a new allocated byte array.
