# TibrvMsgEncoder.canEncode()

Method

## Declaration

    boolean canEncode(
        short type,
        java.lang.Object data)

## Purpose

Test whether this encoder can encode the data as a particular wire format custom datatype.

## Remarks

Before calling TibrvMsgEncoder.encode(), TibrvMsg first checks its applicability by calling this method. Whenever this method indicates that encoding is viable, TibrvMsgEncoder.encode() must correctly encode the object.

This method must return `true` if the encoder can encode the data into the specified custom datatype; otherwise it must return `false`.

Parameter | Description
`type` | Test viability of encoding the data as an instance of this custom datatype.
`data` | Test viability of encoding this data.
