Custom Datatypes

Programs can define custom datatypes by implementing interfaces that encode and decode the data. Decoder methods of TibrvMsg decode data from Rendezvous wire format representation into Java objects (for example, while extracting data from a message field). Encoder methods of TibrvMsg encode data into Rendezvous wire format representation from Java objects (for example, when sending a message).

This section describes these interfaces, and the methods that bind them to TibrvMsg.
