Method Detail

getDBusType

public static String getDBusType(Type[] c)
                          throws DBusException

Will return the DBus type corresponding to the given Java type. Note, container type should have their ParameterizedType not their Class passed in here.

Parameters:

c - The Java types.

Returns:

The DBus types.

Throws:

DBusException - If the given type cannot be converted to a DBus type.

getDBusType

public static String[] getDBusType(Type c)
                            throws DBusException

Will return the DBus type corresponding to the given Java type. Note, container type should have their ParameterizedType not their Class passed in here.

Parameters:

c - The Java type.

Returns:

The DBus type.

Throws:

DBusException - If the given type cannot be converted to a DBus type.

getDBusType

public static String[] getDBusType(Type c,
                                   boolean basic)
                            throws DBusException

Will return the DBus type corresponding to the given Java type. Note, container type should have their ParameterizedType not their Class passed in here.

Parameters:

c - The Java type.

basic - If true enforces this to be a non-compound type. (compound types are Maps, Structs and Lists/arrays).

Returns:

The DBus type.

Throws:

DBusException - If the given type cannot be converted to a DBus type.

recursiveGetDBusType

public static String[] recursiveGetDBusType(Type c,
                                            boolean basic,
                                            int level)
                                     throws DBusException

Throws:

DBusException

getJavaType

public static int getJavaType(String dbus,
                              List<Type> rv,
                              int limit)
                       throws DBusException

Converts a dbus type string into Java Type objects,

Parameters:

dbus - The DBus type or types.

rv - Vector to return the types in.

limit - Maximum number of types to parse (-1 == nolimit).

Returns:

number of characters parsed from the type string.

Throws:

DBusException

convertParameters

public static Object[] convertParameters(Object[] parameters,
                                         Type[] types,
                                         AbstractConnection conn)
                                  throws DBusException

Recursively converts types for serialization onto DBus.

Parameters:

parameters - The parameters to convert.

types - The (possibly generic) types of the parameters.

Returns:

The converted parameters.

Throws:

DBusException - Thrown if there is an error in converting the objects.
