Class MetaDataEntry

java.lang.Object
  com.j_spaces.core.client.MetaDataEntry

All Implemented Interfaces:

IMetaDataEntry, Serializable, Entry

Direct Known Subclasses:

Command, DSession, GSMessageImpl

public class MetaDataEntry
extends Object
implements IMetaDataEntry

This class implements entry and provide optimistic locking and UID capabilities.

 For more detailed information about MetaDataEntry class usage see:
 Optimistic locking actions

 IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to serialize meta-info of MetaDataEntry when the extended class 
 is java.io.Externalizable the extended class should invoke explicitly the 
 super methods _writeExternal()/_readExternal() of MetaDataEntry within writeExternal/readExternal of extended class. 
  
 For example:
  
 public class A extends MetaDataEntry
   implements java.io.Externalizable
 {
   public long age;
   
   public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                      throws IOException
          {
    super._writeExternal( out );
    
    out.writeLong( age ); 
          } 

          public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                      throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
   {
    super._readExternal( in );
    
    age = in.readLong();
   }
  }
