Constructor Detail

Section

public Section(byte[] src,
               int offset)
        throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Creates a Section instance from a byte array.

Parameters:

src - Contains the complete property set stream.

offset - The position in the stream that points to the section's format ID.

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if the section's codepage is not supported.

Method Detail

getFormatID

public ClassID getFormatID()

Returns the format ID. The format ID is the "type" of the section. For example, if the format ID of the first Section contains the bytes specified by org.apache.poi.hpsf.wellknown.SectionIDMap.SUMMARY_INFORMATION_ID the section (and thus the property set) is a SummaryInformation.

Returns:

The format ID

getOffset

public long getOffset()

Returns the offset of the section in the stream.

Returns:

The offset of the section in the stream.

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns the section's size in bytes.

Returns:

The section's size in bytes.

getPropertyCount

public int getPropertyCount()

Returns the number of properties in this section.

Returns:

The number of properties in this section.

getProperties

public Property[] getProperties()

Returns this section's properties.

Returns:

This section's properties.

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(long id)

Returns the value of the property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, null is returned and a subsequent call to wasNull will return true.

Parameters:

id - The property's ID

Returns:

The property's value

wasNull

public boolean wasNull()

Checks whether the property which the last call to getPropertyIntValue(long) or getProperty(long) tried to access was available or not. This information might be important for callers of getPropertyIntValue(long) since the latter returns 0 if the property does not exist. Using wasNull the caller can distiguish this case from a property's real value of 0.

Returns:

true if the last call to getPropertyIntValue(long) or getProperty(long) tried to access a property that was not available, else false.

getPIDString

public java.lang.String getPIDString(long pid)

Returns the PID string associated with a property ID. The ID is first looked up in the Section's private dictionary. If it is not found there, the method calls SectionIDMap.getPIDString(byte[], long).

Parameters:

pid - The property ID

Returns:

The property ID's string value

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Checks whether this section is equal to another object. The result is false if one of the the following conditions holds:

• The other object is not a Section.

• The format IDs of the two sections are not equal.

• The sections have a different number of properties. However, properties with ID 1 (codepage) are not counted.

• The other object is not a Section.

• The properties have different values. The order of the properties is irrelevant.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - The object to compare this section with

Returns:

true if the objects are equal, false if not

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.toString()

getDictionary

public java.util.Map<java.lang.Long,java.lang.String> getDictionary()

Gets the section's dictionary. A dictionary allows an application to use human-readable property names instead of numeric property IDs. It contains mappings from property IDs to their associated string values. The dictionary is stored as the property with ID 0. The codepage for the strings in the dictionary is defined by property with ID 1.

Returns:

the dictionary or null if the section does not have a dictionary.

getCodepage

public int getCodepage()

Gets the section's codepage, if any.

Returns:

The section's codepage if one is defined, else -1.
