interface ClassSerialization

Controls how to serialize class descriptors.

Method Summary

void	checkInstantiable(ObjectStreamClass classDesc) Checks if it is permitted to instantiate an instance of the specified class.
ObjectStreamClass	readClassDescriptor(ObjectInputStream in) Reads a class descriptor from an object input stream.
void	writeClassDescriptor(ObjectStreamClass classDesc, ObjectOutputStream out) Writes a class descriptor to an object output stream.

Method Detail

writeClassDescriptor

void writeClassDescriptor(ObjectStreamClass classDesc,
                          ObjectOutputStream out)
                          throws IOException

Writes a class descriptor to an object output stream.

Parameters:

classDesc - the class descriptor

out - the object output stream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

checkInstantiable

void checkInstantiable(ObjectStreamClass classDesc)
                       throws IOException

Checks if it is permitted to instantiate an instance of the specified class.

Parameters:

classDesc - the class descriptor

Throws:

IOException - if it is not permitted to create instances of the specified class

readClassDescriptor

ObjectStreamClass readClassDescriptor(ObjectInputStream in)
                                      throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                             IOException

Reads a class descriptor from an object input stream.

Parameters:

in - the object input stream

Returns:

the class descriptor

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if a class referred to by the class descriptor representation cannot be found

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
