## com.sleepycat.persist.raw
Class RawObject

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.persist.raw.RawObject

    public class RawObject

extends Object

A raw instance that can be used with a `RawStore` or `Conversion`. A `RawObject` is used to represent instances of complex types (persistent classes with fields), arrays, and enum values. It is not used to represent non-enum simple types, which are represented as simple objects. This includes primitives, which are represented as instances of their wrapper class.

`RawObject` objects are thread-safe. Multiple threads may safely call the methods of a shared `RawObject` object.

Constructor Summary
`RawObject(RawType type, Map<String,Object> values, RawObject superObject)` Creates a raw object with a given set of field values for a complex type.
`RawObject(RawType type, Object[] elements)` Creates a raw object with the given array elements for an array type.
`RawObject(RawType type, String enumConstant)` Creates a raw object with the given enum value for an enum type.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(Object other)`
`Object[]` | `getElements()` Returns the array of elements for an array type, or null for a complex type or an enum type.
`String` | `getEnum()` Returns the enum constant String for an enum type, or null for a complex type or an array type.
`RawObject` | `getSuper()` Returns the instance of the superclass, or null if the superclass is `Object` or `Enum`.
`RawType` | `getType()` Returns the raw type information for this raw object.
`Map<String,Object>` | `getValues()` Returns a map of field name to value for a complex type, or null for an array type or an enum type.
`int` | `hashCode()`
`String` | `toString()` Returns an XML representation of the raw object.

Constructor Detail

### RawObject

    public RawObject(RawType type,
                     Map<String,Object> values,
                     RawObject superObject)

  Creates a raw object with a given set of field values for a complex type.

  Parameters:
    `type` - the type of this raw object.
    `values` - a map of field name to value for each declared field in the class, or null to create an empty map. Each value in the map is a `RawObject`, a simple type instance, or null.
    `superObject` - the instance of the superclass, or null if the superclass is `Object`.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the type argument is an array type.

### RawObject

    public RawObject(RawType type,
                     Object[] elements)

  Creates a raw object with the given array elements for an array type.

  Parameters:
    `type` - the type of this raw object.
    `elements` - an array of elements. Each element in the array is a `RawObject`, a simple type instance, or null.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the type argument is not an array type.

### RawObject

    public RawObject(RawType type,
                     String enumConstant)

  Creates a raw object with the given enum value for an enum type.

  Parameters:
    `type` - the type of this raw object.
    `enumConstant` - the String value of this enum constant; must be one of the Strings returned by `RawType.getEnumConstants()`.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the type argument is not an array type.

Method Detail

### getType

    public RawType getType()

  Returns the raw type information for this raw object.

  Note that if this object is unevolved, the returned type may be different from the current type returned by `EntityModel.getRawType` for the same class name. This can only occur in a `Conversion.convert`.

### getValues

    public Map<String,Object> getValues()

  Returns a map of field name to value for a complex type, or null for an array type or an enum type. The map contains a String key for each declared field in the class. Each value in the map is a `RawObject`, a simple type instance, or null.

  There will be an entry in the map for every field declared in this type, as determined by `RawType.getFields()` for the type returned by `getType()`. Values in the map may be null for fields with non-primitive types.

### getElements

    public Object[] getElements()

  Returns the array of elements for an array type, or null for a complex type or an enum type. Each element in the array is a `RawObject`, a simple type instance, or null.

### getEnum

    public String getEnum()

  Returns the enum constant String for an enum type, or null for a complex type or an array type. The String returned will be one of the Strings returned by `RawType.getEnumConstants()`.

### getSuper

    public RawObject getSuper()

  Returns the instance of the superclass, or null if the superclass is `Object` or `Enum`.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns an XML representation of the raw object.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
