자바(Java)는 기본적으로 unsigned primitive type을 지원하지 않는다. 만약, C/C++을 사용하는 서버/클라이언트의 프로토콜에 unsigned 타입이 선언되어 있다면 자바에서 unsigned type에 대한 처리가 필요하다. 찾아보니, 구글님이 답을 주셨다.
Unsigned.java
package com.ronsoft.books.nio.buffers;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
/**
* Utility class to get and put unsigned values to a ByteBuffer object.
* All methods here are static and take a ByteBuffer object argument.
* Since java does not provide unsigned primitive types, each unsigned
* value read from the buffer is promoted up to the next bigger primitive
* data type. getUnsignedByte() returns a short, getUnsignedShort() returns
* an int and getUnsignedInt() returns a long. There is no getUnsignedLong()
* since there is no primitive type to hold the value returned. If needed,
* methods returning BigInteger could be implemented.
* Likewise, the put methods take a value larger than the type they will
* be assigning. putUnsignedByte takes a short argument, etc.
