Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ComponentState	duplicate() Create a duplicate of this state which can be used for storing this state's values.
boolean	equals(ComponentState state) Returns true if this state equals another component state.
void	readBinary(java.io.DataInputStream dis) Read this state (in binary format) from a data input stream.
void	set(ComponentState state) Sets this state by copying the value from an existing state object.
void	writeBinary(java.io.DataOutputStream dos) Writes this state (in binary format) to a data output stream.

Method Detail

writeBinary

void writeBinary(java.io.DataOutputStream dos)
          throws java.io.IOException

Writes this state (in binary format) to a data output stream.

Parameters:

dos - output stream to write model to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurred

readBinary

void readBinary(java.io.DataInputStream dis)
         throws java.io.IOException

Read this state (in binary format) from a data input stream.

Parameters:

dis - input stream to read model from

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurred or if the input is incompatible with the current state configuration.

set

void set(ComponentState state)

Sets this state by copying the value from an existing state object.

Parameters:

state - state object to copy

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the state objects are incompatible

equals

boolean equals(ComponentState state)

Returns true if this state equals another component state.

Parameters:

state - state to compare to

duplicate

ComponentState duplicate()

Create a duplicate of this state which can be used for storing this state's values.

Returns:

duplicate of this state
