Thats cool!!
Then why we need getUnsignedByte() itself??
eg: to read a byte read 0xff , get its unsigned value by typcasting to
int i,e 0x000000ff;
& to write it back just write the byte 0xff.
what about the HWPFOutputStream. write() which takes only a byte array????
Thanks & Regards

No, because consider the following example:
I read the byte 0xff from a stream. The signed value is -1 the unsigned
value is 255. I use LittleEndian.getUnsignedByte() to read it in as an int
with the following hex value 0x000000ff. All we have to do is cast it to a
byte ((byte)0x000000ff) to get back to 0xff.
