Field Detail

array

private java.lang.Object[] array

This class implements Formatable. That means that it can write itself to and from a formatted stream. If you add more fields to this class, make sure that you also write/read them with the writeExternal()/readExternal() methods. If, inbetween releases, you add more fields to this class, then you should bump the version number emitted by the getTypeFormatId() method.
