/**
|
|
* The base interface to SSL constructed types.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p><b>Contract for ByteBuffer-based constructed types:</b>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Most implementations of this interface supported by this library
|
|
* take a "view" of an underlying ByteBuffer. The general contract of
|
|
* such classes is that they <em>will not</em> modify the position or
|
|
* limit of the buffer when doing read operations. That is, the position
|
|
* of the underlying buffer <em>should</em> remain at 0 throughout the
|
|
* lifetime of the object, and the limit should be either set to the
|
|
* capacity of the buffer, or to the size of the object (in most cases,
|
|
* the length of the protocol object is determined by the contents of
|
|
* the object, so the limit isn't useful in such cases. Of course, if the
|
|
* limit is set to something other than the object's length, it must be
|
|
* larger than the object length).
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Setter methods (usually in a class that implements the {@link Builder}
|
|
* interface) may modify the limit, but the general contract remains that
|
|
* the position remain at zero, and that the limit be at least as large as
|
|
* the object length.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Thus, very often the code will use <em>absolute</em> getters and setters
|
|
* for primitive types, or it will use the {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer#duplicate()}
|
|
* method, and sometimes the {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer#slice()} method, and
|
|
* will change the position or limit of the duplicate buffer.
