Method Details

fromByteArray

protected abstract T fromByteArray(Preferences node,
 byte[] source)
                            throws InvalidPreferenceValueException

Converts the given byte array to an instance of the property type.

Parameters:

node - The reference to the Preferences node that provides the value.

source - The byte array; can be null.

Returns:

The instance, or null if the source was already null.

Throws:

InvalidPreferenceValueException - The preferences value cannot be translated to the property type.

readPreference

public void readPreference(Preferences node)
                    throws BackingStoreException,
InvalidPreferenceValueException

Reads the preference value from the given node and writes it to the property.

Specified by:

readPreference in class PreferenceAccessor<T>

Parameters:

node - The preference node.

Throws:

BackingStoreException - There are problems on reading the given node.

InvalidPreferenceValueException - The preferences value cannot be translated to the property type.

toByteArray

protected abstract byte[] toByteArray(Preferences node,
 T source)
                               throws InvalidPreferenceValueException

Converts the given instance of the property type into a byte array.

Parameters:

node - The reference to the Preferences node that is used to store the preferences value.

source - The instance; can be null.

Returns:

The byte array, or null if the source was already null.

Throws:

InvalidPreferenceValueException - The conversion failed to a byte array failed.

writePreference

public void writePreference(Preferences node)
                     throws BackingStoreException

Specified by:

writePreference in class PreferenceAccessor<T>

Parameters:

node - The preference node.

Throws:

BackingStoreException - There are problems on writing the given node.
