com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding<E>
public abstract class TupleBinding<E>
An abstract EntryBinding that treats a key or data entry as a
 tuple; it includes predefined bindings for Java primitive types.
 
This class takes care of converting the entries to/from TupleInput and TupleOutput objects.  Its two abstract methods must
 be implemented by a concrete subclass to convert between tuples and key or
 data objects.

public E entryToObject(DatabaseEntry entry)
EntryBinding
entryToObject in interface EntryBinding<E>entry - is the source entry buffer.

                          DatabaseEntry entry)
EntryBinding
objectToEntry in interface EntryBinding<E>object - is the source Object.entry - is the destination entry buffer.public abstract E entryToObject(TupleInput input)
TupleInput entry.
input - is the tuple key or data entry.
public abstract void objectToEntry(E object,
                                   TupleOutput output)
object - is the key or data object.output - is the tuple entry to which the key or data should be
 written.public static <T> TupleBinding<T> getPrimitiveBinding(Class<T> cls)
StringCharacterBooleanByteShortIntegerLongFloatDoubleNote: getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class returns bindings that do
 not sort negative floating point numbers correctly by default.  See
 SortedFloatBinding and SortedDoubleBinding for
 details.
cls - is the primitive Java class.
