The value as a byte array.

getObjectValue

public java.lang.Object getObjectValue()

Returns the value as an Object, creating a new byte array.

Specified by:

getObjectValue in class Value

Returns:

The value as an Object of byte[]

getLength

public int getLength()

Returns the length of the byte[] that currently comprises the hex value.

Returns:

The length of the hex value.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Creates an exact duplicate of this object.
