Method Detail

encode

OwParameterMap encode(OwParameterMap parameterMap_p)
                      throws OwException

Encodes the given OwParameterMap

Parameters:

parameterMap_p -

Returns:

the encoded OwParameterMap

Throws:

OwException - if the encoding process fails

decode

OwParameterMap decode(OwParameterMap parameterMap_p,
                    boolean preserveEncoding_p)
                      throws OwException,
                             OwUserOperationException

Decodes the given OwParameterMap

Parameters:

parameterMap_p -

preserveEncoding_p - if true the decoded OwParameterMap will also contain the encoded parameters

Returns:

the decoded OwParameterMap

Throws:

OwException - if the decoding process fails

OwUserOperationException - if the decoding process fails but recovery is possible (non-system-errors)
egg. expired cookies in cookie based encoding scheme

canDecode

boolean canDecode(OwParameterMap parameterMap_p)
                  throws OwException

Verifies that this codec can decode the given OwParameterMap without system-errors.

Parameters:

parameterMap_p -

Returns:

true if the given OwParameterMap can be decoded or false otherwise

Throws:

OwException

getNextUnqiueNameIndex

long getNextUnqiueNameIndex()
                            throws OwException

Get the next available unique index.

Returns:

a unique long index

Throws:

OwException
