Public Member Functions | |
Object | decode (Object pObject) throws DecoderException |
Decodes an "encoded" Object and returns a "decoded" Object. |
Object org.apache.commons.codec.Decoder.decode | ( | Object | pObject | ) | throws DecoderException |
Decodes an "encoded" Object and returns a "decoded" Object.
Note that the implementation of this interface will try to cast the Object parameter to the specific type expected by a particular Decoder implementation. If a java.lang.ClassCastException occurs this decode method will throw a DecoderException.
pObject | an object to "decode" |
DecoderException | a decoder exception can be thrown for any number of reasons. Some good candidates are that the parameter passed to this method is null, a param cannot be cast to the appropriate type for a specific encoder. |
Implemented in org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64, and org.apache.commons.codec.net.QuotedPrintableCodec.
