ReadableBinaryValuehas one method to read Value.The value of read length bytes is counted from the binary value to the given position into the stream.
long read(OutputStream stream, long length, long position) throws IOException, RepositoryException ;
EditableBinaryValuehas two methods to edit value.void update(InputStream stream, long length, long position) throws IOException;
Update with length bytes from the specified stream to this value data at a position. If the position is lower than 0, the IOException exception will be thrown. If the position is higher than the current Value length, the Value length will be increased at first to the size of position and length bytes will be added after the position.
Set the length of the Value in bytes to the specified size. If the size is lower than 0, the IOException exception will be thrown. This operation can be used to extend or truncat the Value size. This method is used internally in the update operation in case of extending the size to the given position.
void setLength(long size) throws IOException;
An application can perform JCR binary operations more flexibly and will have less I/O and CPU usage using these methods.
