106A concrete <code>TupleBinding</code> for a <code>Short</code> primitive
107 wrapper or a <code>short</code> primitive.

109 <p>There are two ways to use this class:</p>
110 <ol>
111 <li>When using the <A HREF="/com/sleepycat/db/package-summary.html"><CODE>com.sleepycat.db</CODE></A> package directly, the static
112 methods in this class can be used to convert between primitive values and
113 <A HREF="/com/sleepycat/db/DatabaseEntry.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.db"><CODE>DatabaseEntry</CODE></A> objects.</li>
114 <li>When using the <A HREF="/com/sleepycat/collections/package-summary.html"><CODE>com.sleepycat.collections</CODE></A> package, an instance of
115 this class can be used with any stored collection.  The easiest way to
116 obtain a binding instance is with the <A HREF="/com/sleepycat/bind/tuple/TupleBinding.html#getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class)"><CODE>TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class)</CODE></A> method.</li>
