TibrvMsgField()

Constructor

Declaration

TibrvMsgField()
TibrvMsgField(TibrvMsgField field)
TibrvMsgField(
    java.lang.String name,
    java.lang.Object data,
    short type,
    int id)
TibrvMsgField(
    java.lang.String name,
    java.lang.Object data,
    short type)
TibrvMsgField(
    java.lang.String name,
    java.lang.Object data)

Purpose

Create a message field object.

Method Forms

With no arguments, create an empty field (no name, no identifier, no data, no type).

With a field argument, create an independent copy of the field.

Name, identifier, data and type arguments contribute to the contents of the field object.

Remarks

This constructor does not verify that the data and type of the field are consistent. Methods that add the field object into a message verify consistency (for example TibrvMsg.addField() and TibrvMsg.updateField()).

Parameter	Description
field	Create an independent copy of this field.
name	Create a field with this name. To create a field with no name, supply null.
id	Create a field with this identifier. Identifiers must be in the range [0-65535]; zero is a special value that indicates no identifier.
data	Create a field with this data value. The data value must be non-null.
type	Create a field with this type. For a list of types, see Datatype Constants. If absent, the default type is TibrvMsg.DEFAULT, which instructs the methods TibrvMsg.addField() and TibrvMsg.updateField() to use the default type corresponding to the data value.
