I was trying to save another member, and thought that the offset had fewer uses than the length. A related API question is whether we would do a copy into the Token (like for termBuffer), or if the byte[] payload would be simply referenced (not copied). If it is simply referenced, then we minimally need to define when the contents of the byte[] may be changed (i.e. can the payload setter re-use the same byte[] and change the contents for successive tokens). If we opt to treat payload like termBuffer and copy the bytes, then we need no offset member. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
