Method Detail

getInstance

public static DatabaseObject getInstance(java.lang.String name,
                                         java.util.Date D)

This static method is used to get a DatabaseObject object with constructor arguments. The object returned has this date but the datavalues are set to "not valid data".

getInstance

public static DatabaseObject getInstance(java.lang.String name,
                                         java.util.Date D,
                                         double[] data)

This static method is used to get a DatabaseObject object with constructor arguments. The object returned has this date and the data is passed in an array to the real constructor.

getNumberOfDataIndexes

public abstract int getNumberOfDataIndexes()

getNumberOfDataIndexes will return the number of data "types" this DatabaseObject has.

getData

public abstract double getData(int index)

This method will return the data value of the DatabaseObject at position "index" converted to a double. If datavalue index doesn't exist we should either throw an exception or return a value that doesn't represent a number.

getDate

public abstract java.util.Date getDate()

getDate will return the Date associated with this DatabaseObject

getDataSize

public abstract long getDataSize()
                          throws java.io.IOException

Returns the size of the data that is written to file for this object type.

getObjectSize

public long getObjectSize()
                   throws java.io.IOException

This method will return the size of the DatabaseObject in bytes.
