Method Detail

getCobolConverters

ICobolConverters getCobolConverters()

This method returns the current set of COBOL converters.

Returns:

a set of COBOL converters

setCobolConverters

void setCobolConverters(ICobolConverters cobolConverters)

Caller can pass his own set of converters if he is not satisfied with the default.

Parameters:

cobolConverters - the new set of COBOL converters

getCobolContext

CobolContext getCobolContext()

Returns the current COBOL parameter set.

Returns:

a COBOL parameter set

setCobolContext

void setCobolContext(CobolContext cobolContext)

Change the COBOL parameter sets of the converters.

Parameters:

cobolContext - the new COBOL parameter set

getCobolBindingVisitorsFactory

ICobolBindingVisitorsFactory getCobolBindingVisitorsFactory()

Returns:

the Factory that provides concrete implementations of marshalers/unmarshalers

setCobolBindingVisitorsFactory

void setCobolBindingVisitorsFactory(ICobolBindingVisitorsFactory cobolBindingVisitorsFactory)

Parameters:

cobolBindingVisitorsFactory - the Factory that provides concrete implementations of marshalers/unmarshalers to set

getBinding

ICobolComplexBinding getBinding()
                                throws CobolBindingException

Deprecated. replaced by newBinding

Returns:

the binding corresponding to the host structure type. Such a binding can either be statically produced by com.legstar.coxb.gen.CoxbBindingGenerator, or dynamically built by com.legstar.coxb.impl.reflect.CComplexBinding.

Throws:

CobolBindingException - if binding cannot be returned

newBinding

ICobolComplexBinding newBinding()
                                throws CobolBindingException

Returns:

a new binding corresponding to the host structure type. Such a binding can either be statically produced by com.legstar.coxb.gen.CoxbBindingGenerator, or dynamically built by com.legstar.coxb.impl.reflect.CComplexBinding.

Throws:

CobolBindingException - if binding cannot be returned

getByteLength

int getByteLength()
                  throws CobolBindingException

The COBOL complex element maximum length in bytes.

Returns:

COBOL complex element maximum length in bytes

Throws:

CobolBindingException - if maximum byte length cannot be computed
