## Class TupleTupleBinding<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBase<E>
  - - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleTupleBinding<E>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    EntityBinding<E>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    TupleTupleMarshalledBinding

      public abstract class TupleTupleBinding<E>
      extends TupleBase<E>
      implements EntityBinding<E>

  An abstract `EntityBinding` that treats an entity's key entry and data entry as tuples.

  This class takes care of converting the entries to/from `TupleInput` and `TupleOutput` objects. Its three abstract methods must be implemented by a concrete subclass to convert between tuples and entity objects.

  - `entryToObject(TupleInput,TupleInput)`
  - `objectToKey(Object,TupleOutput)`
  - `objectToData(Object,TupleOutput)`

- - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructor and Description
    `TupleTupleBinding()` Creates a tuple-tuple entity binding.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `E` | `entryToObject(DatabaseEntry key, DatabaseEntry data)` Converts key and data entry buffers into an entity Object.
    `abstract E` | `entryToObject(TupleInput keyInput, TupleInput dataInput)` Constructs an entity object from `TupleInput` key and data entries.
    `void` | `objectToData(E object, DatabaseEntry data)` Extracts the data entry from an entity Object.

                                          TupleInput dataInput)

      Constructs an entity object from `TupleInput` key and data entries.
      Parameters:
        `keyInput` - is the `TupleInput` key entry object.
        `dataInput` - is the `TupleInput` data entry object.
      Returns:
        the entity object constructed from the key and data.
