Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-823:
-------------------------------------------
putUnsigned(xxx) methods don't make a lot of sense. There is no specific
treatment applied when doing a put(byte), putInt(int) or putLong(long).
So why should we implement the symetric operation when the simple existing
operations are already doing the job ?
I mean, yes, it would be candy to the eye, but what kind of added value does it
bring ?
> Add IoBuffer.putUnsigned* methods to balance the getUnsigned* methods for
> completeness

> Key: DIRMINA-823
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-823
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: WXP SP3, Sun SDK 1.5
> Reporter: Francis ANDRE
> Priority: Trivial
>
> While unsigned integers types are quite meaningful in networking protocols,
> Java does not provide unsigned integer primitive types. The
> IoBuffer.getUnsigned* methods are filling the gap between the need of
> unsigned integers and the real Java programs.
> But IoBuffer does not provide the correlative IoBuffer.putUnsigned* methods.
> Thus for completeness, this issue proposes to add those IoBuffer.putUnsigned*
> methods.
