Method Detail

createBlob

public static Blob createBlob(byte[] data)

Create a blob from a byte array.

Parameters:

data - the byte array

Returns:

the blob

createMemoryBlob

public static MemoryBlob createMemoryBlob()

Create a MemoryBlob instance.

Returns:

the blob

createOverflowableBlob

public static OverflowableBlob createOverflowableBlob(int threshold,
                                                      WritableBlobFactory<?> overflowBlobFactory)

Create an OverflowableBlob.

Parameters:

threshold - the threshold above which data is transferred to the overflow blob

overflowBlobFactory - the factory that will be used to create the overflow blob

Returns:

the blob

createOverflowableBlob

public static OverflowableBlob createOverflowableBlob(int threshold,
                                                      String tempPrefix,
                                                      String tempSuffix,
                                                      File tempDirectory)

Create an OverflowableBlob that overflows to a temporary file. Temporary files are created using File.createTempFile(String, String, File).

Parameters:

threshold - the overflow threshold

tempPrefix - the prefix to be used in generating the name of the temporary file

tempSuffix - the suffix to be used in generating the name of the temporary file

tempDirectory - the directory in which the temporary file is to be created, or null if the default temporary directory is to be used

Returns:

the blob
