This class wraps a Microsoft® ActiveX® Automation SAFEARRAY data structure. It bridges Java with the Automation object by wrapping a pointer to the native SAFEARRAY data structure. It does not duplicate the array data in Java form. This approach minimizes translation overhead but imposes extra rules on SafeArray usage.
The rules for using this class are simple, but they must be followed:
- A Java method that receives a SafeArray object as a parameter can use that object only for the duration of the method call. If a longer-term copy is needed, either the SafeArray object must be converted to a Java array, or the clone method must be used to create an independent copy of the object.
- If a Java method returns a SafeArray object, that object is owned by the caller; the Java method must no longer use that SafeArray instance. The simplest way to follow this rule is to have the called method construct a new SafeArray object each time it is called.
In addition to maintaining a pointer to a native SAFEARRAY data structure, a SafeArray instance separately maintains the exact variant type of SAFEARRAY data structure elements. The variant type is determined by an argument to the SafeArray class constructor or is bound into the .java file by the jactivex tool. The system class com.ms.com.Variant defines public constants (Variant.VariantXXX) for all of the valid variant types. It is important to note that neither the VariantByref nor the VariantArray modifier should be set in the element variant type; setting either of these modifiers will cause a run-time error to occur.
The SAFEARRAY data structure does not have reference counts, so the process of creating and destroying SAFEARRAY data structures cannot be made completely transparent to the Java programmer. Therefore, the SafeArray class can only be loaded by a trusted applet.
SafeArrays of type VT_UNKNOWN or VT_DISPATCH can be manipulated by using variant-typed manipulators and then extracting the COM object from the variant, as in the following example.
SafeArray sa; Object elem = sa.getVariant(index).toObject();
However, support for this technique is limited to cases where the variant was obtained from an object whose threading model is either free or both. In most other cases, a WrongThreadException is thrown. The conflicting requirements of COM's apartment threading model and Java's non-message-based model preclude an efficient representation of SafeArrays of Objects.
Note for JavaTLB users: The JavaTLB tool (which has been superceded by the jactivex tool) emits an older class file format that does not provide the exact variant type. This means in some cases, the SAFEARRAY data structure will not provide enough information to determine an exact variant type. In this case, the Java runtime will choose a default variant type based on the following heuristics:
- SAFEARRAY data structures with elements of type VT_BSTR, VT_UNKNOWN, VT_DISPATCH or VT_VARIANT are explicitly flagged as such in the SAFEARRAY data structure; thus, these will always marshal correctly.
- If not explicitly flagged, a SAFEARRAY data structure whose element size is 1 is presumed to be of type VT_UI1. Similarly, if the element size is 2, the SAFEARRAY is presumed to be of type VT_I2. If the element size is 4, type VT_I4 is presumed, and if the element size is 8, VT_R8 is presumed. Otherwise, a ClassCastException is thrown.
- If a variant type other than the default is needed, the interface .java files must either be rebuilt using the jactivex tool or the reinterpretType method must be used to override the default variant type.
Constructors
SafeArray
public SafeArray(int vt);Creates a SafeArray instance that wraps the NULL pointer. The main purpose of this constructor is to pass NULL to Component Object Model (COM) methods that accept SAFEARRAYs.
The variant type of the element must be one of the Variant.VariantXXX constants. Neither the VariantByref nor the VariantArray modifier should be set in the element variant type; setting either of these modifiers will cause a run-time error to occur.
Parameter Description vt The variant type of the element.
SafeArray
public SafeArray(int vt, int celems);Creates a one-dimensional SafeArray object. Valid indices range from zero (inclusive) to celems (exclusive). Note that this convention follows the C language practice of indicating the number of elements rather than the Microsoft® Visual Basic® convention of indicating the upper bound.
The variant type of the element must be one of the Variant.VariantXXX constants. Neither the VariantArray nor the VariantByref modifier may be set.
Parameter Description vt The variant type of the element. celems The number of elements.
SafeArray
public SafeArray(int vt, int celems1, int celems2);Creates a two-dimensional SafeArray object. The constructor follows the C language practice of indicating the number of elements rather than the Microsoft® Visual Basic® convention of indicating the upper bound.
The expression:
new SafeArray(Variant.VariantVariant, 21, 11);is equivalent to the Visual Basic declaration:
Option Base 0 Dim A(20, 10)The variant type of the element must be one of the Variant.VariantXXX constants. Neither the VariantByref nor the VariantArray modifier should be set in the element variant type; setting either of these modifiers will cause a run-time error to occur.
Parameter Description vt The variant type of the element. celems1 The number of elements in the first dimension. celems2 The number of elements in the second dimension.
SafeArray
public SafeArray(int vt, int lbounds[], int celems[]);Creates a SafeArray object of arbitrary shape. The lbounds array indicates the lower bound of each dimension. The celems array (which must have the same length as lbounds) gives the number of elements that are in each dimension. If lbounds is null, all the lower bound values default to zero. The variant type of the element must be one of the Variant.VariantXXX constants. Neither the VariantArray nor VariantByref modifier may be set.
The following Java code creates a 3-dimensional SafeArray:
int lbounds[] = {-1,-3, -4}; int celems[] = {10, 20, 30}; SafeArray A = new SafeArray(Variant.VariantVariant, lbounds, celems);This Visual Basic declaration creates an array with the same shape as the SafeArray created above:
Dim A(-1 To 8, -3 To 16, -4 To 25)
Parameter Description vt The variant type of the element. lbounds The lower bounds of each dimension. celems The number of elements in each dimension.
SafeArray
public SafeArray(String s);Creates a VT_UI1 SafeArray object from a string. Each character of the string occupies two elements of the array to form a single Unicode character. The array is not null terminated. This constructor corresponds to the standard Automation conversion from VT_BSTR to VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1.
Parameter Description s The string used to initialize the new SafeArray object.
getPhysicalSafeArray
public native int getPhysicalSafeArray();Retrieves the linear address of the actual SAFEARRAY data structure, which is packaged as a Java integer. This method is provided only to aid in debugging. Other than displaying information, there are no useful operations that can be performed with this value from Java.
Return Value:
Returns the linear address of the represented SAFEARRAY.
Methods
asString
public native String asString();Converts a VT_UI1 SafeArray to a string. This method corresponds to the VariantChangeType conversion from VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1 to VT_BSTR.
Return Value:
Returns the converted value.
clone
public Object clone();Creates an exact and independent duplicate of the SafeArray object. This method is a wrapper around the Microsoft® Win32® SafeArrayCopy function.
Return Value:
Returns a new SafeArray object that contains an independent duplicate.
destroy
public void destroy();Forcefully invokes the Win32 function SafeArrayDestroy.
Caution This is a potentially dangerous routine that should be used with extreme caution. It is not necessary to invoke this method when following standard COM memory ownership rules. This is because the Java/COM integration subsystem and the Java garbage collector work together to ensure correct disposal of SafeArrays.
Return Value:
No return value.
finalize
protected void finalize();Performs cleanup tasks before garbage collection.
Return Value:
No return value.
fromBooleanArray
public void fromBooleanArray(boolean ja[]);Initializes SafeArray elements from a Java array. If the SafeArray is multidimensional, it is treated as if it were a single linear array stored in column order. No matter what the index of the lower bound of the SafeArray is, the first element is initialized from element zero of the Java array.
If the Java array is shorter than the number of SafeArray elements, the remaining SafeArray elements are left unmodified. If the Java array is longer than the number of SafeArray elements, the extra elements are ignored.
Note If you are modifying a large number of elements, it may be more efficient to use fromCharArray rather than fromBooleanArray. Since boolean SafeArrays use two bytes per element, the fromBooleanArray method cannot optimize itself to a memory copy (memcpy).
Return Value:
No return value.
Parameter Description ja The Java array that contains the new values.
fromByteArray
public void fromByteArray(byte ja[]);Initializes SafeArray elements from a Java array. If the SafeArray is multidimensional, it is treated as if it were a single linear array stored in column order.

If the Java array is shorter than the number of SafeArray elements, the remaining SafeArray elements are left unmodified. If the Java array is longer than the number of SafeArray elements, the extra elements are ignored.
Note This method attempts all the usual type conversions. To achieve optimal performance, ensure that the element size of the source and destination arrays match exactly, so that the method optimizes to a straight memory copy (memcpy).
Return Value:
No return value.
Parameter Description ja The Java array that contains the new values.

If the Java array is shorter than the number of SafeArray elements, the remaining SafeArray elements are left unmodified. If the Java array is longer than the number of SafeArray elements, the extra elements are ignored.
Note Although Variant methods can operate on any SafeArray type, it is usually much more efficient to use the specific method for the element type. This is true even if the SafeArray is a SafeArray of Variants.

public void getBooleans(int sa_idx, int nelems, boolean ja[], int ja_start);Extracts multiple elements as booleans. If the SafeArray is multidimensional, it is treated as if it were a single linear array stored in column order. No matter where in the SafeArray the first element is located, that location is called index zero for the purposes of this method. The first element retrieved from the SafeArray is retrieved from the location that is sa_idx elements away from index zero.
Note If you extract a large number of elements, it may be more efficient to use getChars rather than getBooleans. Since boolean SafeArray objects use two bytes per element, the getBooleans method cannot optimize itself to a memory copy (memcpy).

Returns the flattened contents of the array.
toString
public String toString();Defines the printed representation of a SafeArray object.
Return Value:
Returns the printed representation.
toStringArray
public String[] toStringArray();Converts an entire SafeArray to a Java array. If the SafeArray is multidimensional, it is treated as if it were a single linear array stored in column order. No matter what the index of the lower bound of the SafeArray is, the first element is stored in element zero of the Java array.
Return Value:
Returns the flattened contents of the array.
toVariantArray
public Variant[] toVariantArray();Converts an entire SafeArray to a Java array. If the SafeArray is multidimensional, it is treated as if it were a single linear array stored in column order. No matter where in the SafeArray the first element is located, that location is called index zero for the purposes of this method.
Note Although the Variant methods can operate on any SafeArray type, it is usually much more efficient to use the specific method for the SafeArray type rather than to extract first as a Variant, and then coerce the Variant. This is true even if the SafeArray is a SafeArray of Variants.
Return Value:
Returns the flattened contents of the array.
