Class UnknownFudgeFieldValue

java.lang.Object
  org.fudgemsg.UnknownFudgeFieldValue

public class UnknownFudgeFieldValue
extends Object

A container to store a variable-sized field with a type that the current installation of Fudge cannot handle on decoding.

In general, while Fudge supports an infinite number of UnknownFudgeFieldType instances with a particular type ID, it is optimal to use the factory method FudgeTypeDictionary.getUnknownType(int) to obtain one for a particular context, which is what the Fudge decoding routines will do.

This class holds a mutable byte array but is unmodifiable.
