Class BaseType

java.lang.Object
  org.lwes.BaseType

public class BaseType
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides a base type for the base types in the event system. acts partially as an interface and partially to provide encapsulation of the TypeIDs used in serialization. It also provides a sizeof() type method called getByteSize() used to determine how many bytes must be used to serialize an object of the given type.
