ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context

Method Summary

boolean	accept(Object object)
ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context	createContext() Creates a new marshalling context
byte[]	marshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context, ObjectOutputStream os, Object object) This method is analogous to the write() method, but instead of writing the object into an output stream, it returns the marshalled object as a byte[].
Object	read(ObjectInputStream os)
Object	unmarshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context, ObjectInputStream is, byte[] object, ClassLoader classloader) This method is analogous to the read method, but instead of reading it from an input stream, it reads it from a byte[]
void	write(ObjectOutputStream os, Object object)

Method Detail

accept

boolean accept(Object object)

write

void write(ObjectOutputStream os,
           Object object)
           throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

read

Object read(ObjectInputStream os)
            throws IOException,
                   ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

marshal

byte[] marshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context,
               ObjectOutputStream os,
               Object object)
               throws IOException

This method is analogous to the write() method, but instead of writing the object into an output stream, it returns the marshalled object as a byte[].

Parameters:

the - context for this strategy created by the method #createContext()

object - the object to be marshalled

Returns:

the marshalled byte[] of the input object

Throws:

IOException

unmarshal

Object unmarshal(ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context context,
                 ObjectInputStream is,
                 byte[] object,
                 ClassLoader classloader)
                 throws IOException,
                        ClassNotFoundException

This method is analogous to the read method, but instead of reading it from an input stream, it reads it from a byte[]

Parameters:

the - context for this strategy created by the method #createContext()

object - the marshalled object in a byte[]

Returns:

the unmarshalled Object

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

createContext

ObjectMarshallingStrategy.Context createContext()

Creates a new marshalling context
