AsciiString

java.lang.Object
- org.jgroups.util.AsciiString

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<AsciiString>
```
public class AsciiString
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<AsciiString>
```
Simple string implemented as a byte[] array. Each character's higher 8 bits are truncated and only the lower 8 bits are stored. AsciiString is mutable for efficiency reasons, but the chars array should never be changed !

3.5
