Class StringContent

java.lang.Object sample code for java.lang.Object definition code for java.lang.Object 
  extended by javax.swing.text.StringContent
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable sample code for java.io.Serializable definition code for java.io.Serializable , AbstractDocument.Content sample code for javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.Content definition code for javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.Content

public final class StringContent
extends Object sample code for java.lang.Object definition code for java.lang.Object
implements AbstractDocument.Content sample code for javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.Content definition code for javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.Content , Serializable sample code for java.io.Serializable definition code for java.io.Serializable

An implementation of the AbstractDocument.Content interface that is a brute force implementation that is useful for relatively small documents and/or debugging. It manages the character content as a simple character array. It is also quite inefficient.

It is generally recommended that the gap buffer or piece table implementations be used instead. This buffer does not scale up to large sizes.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder sample code for java.beans.XMLEncoder definition code for java.beans.XMLEncoder .
