Method Detail

createPropertyBlockArray

public static BlockWritable[] createPropertyBlockArray(POIFSBigBlockSize bigBlockSize,
                                                       java.util.List<Property> properties)

Create an array of PropertyBlocks from an array of Property instances, creating empty Property instances to make up any shortfall

Parameters:

properties - the Property instances to be converted into PropertyBlocks, in a java List

Returns:

the array of newly created PropertyBlock instances

doWriteData

                           byte[] data)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Default implementation of write for extending classes that contain their data in a simple array of bytes.

Parameters:

stream - the OutputStream to which the data should be written.

data - the byte array of to be written.

java.io.IOException - on problems writing to the specified stream.

writeBlocks

public void writeBlocks(java.io.OutputStream stream)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Write the storage to an OutputStream

Specified by:

writeBlocks in interface BlockWritable

Parameters:

stream - the OutputStream to which the stored data should be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on problems writing to the specified stream
