Class BulkArrayConverter

java.lang.Object

com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.BulkArrayConverter

public class BulkArrayConverter
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class used to combine an array of array into a single array of combined length and vice versa. For example, if you have a three dimensional array then the multiplesToBulk(java.lang.Object[]) will return an two dimensional array. Similarly if you pass a two dimensional array to bulkToMultiples(java.lang.Object[]) you will get back a three dimensional array.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.Object	bulkToMultiples(java.lang.Object[] bulk_) This method takes an array object and return parallel arrays, from which the passed array was originally created. eg: if you pass a two dimensional array then the method will return an three dimensional array.
void	clear() Clears the state of converter so it can used for new array conversions.
boolean	isInitialized() Returns whether the converter has been initialized.
java.lang.Object[]	multiplesToBulk(java.lang.Object[] multiples_) This method takes an array of array and converts into a single array of length of combined array's. eg: if you have a three dimensional array then the method will return an two dimensional array.

Method Detail

multiplesToBulk

public java.lang.Object[] multiplesToBulk(java.lang.Object[] multiples_)

This method takes an array of array and converts into a single array of length of combined array's. eg: if you have a three dimensional array then the method will return an two dimensional array. The passed in array's can be of mixed type.

Parameters:

multiples_ - array's to be converted to bulk array.

Returns:

Object array of combined length of passed in array's

bulkToMultiples

public java.lang.Object bulkToMultiples(java.lang.Object[] bulk_)

This method takes an array object and return parallel arrays, from which the passed array was originally created. eg: if you pass a two dimensional array then the method will return an three dimensional array.

Parameters:

bulk_ - array to split into parallel arrays. This can be array of mixed types, if the original array's were of mixed type.

Returns:

an object of type array of array.

isInitialized

public boolean isInitialized()

Returns whether the converter has been initialized.

Returns:

true if the converter object is initialized, otherwise false

clear

public void clear()

Clears the state of converter so it can used for new array conversions.
