DataOutputStream: scrittura low byte first

[34708...@vodafone.it]

Salve,
uso il metodo writeInt() su un'istanza di DataOutputStream e noto che
mi scrive su file l'intero con modalità high byte first. Vorrei
avvenisse il contrario, cioè:

..
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(nomeFileOut);
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream (fileOut);
out.writeInt(1);
..

Vorei in fileOut avessi:

01 00
e non
00 01.

Come posso fare? E' configurabile in qualche modo il DataOutputStream?

Grazie mille

ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN is the default. In a recent article, Mark Space
suggested using java.nio.ByteBuffer, as it "has methods for writing all
types of primitives as well as control over endianness."

<code>
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;
public class Order {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
int value = 0xCAFEBABE;

DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream (

new FileOutputStream("tempB.bin"));
out.writeInt(value);
out.close();

out = new DataOutputStream (
new FileOutputStream("tempL.bin"));
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(Integer.SIZE/8);
bb.putInt(value);
bb.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
out.writeInt(bb.getInt(0));
out.close();
}
}
</code>

<console>
$ javac Order.java ; java Order ; hd tempB.bin ; hd tempL.bin
000000: ca fe ba be ....
000000: be ba fe ca ....
</console>
