ObjectSerializerFactory()

Method Summary

abstract void	deserializeXmlStream(InputSource is, XmlObjectResultsHandler handler, boolean validate) Deserializes XML objects from a stream NOTE: Consider using SerializerUtil.deserializeXmlObject(String,boolean) for convenience deserializing a single object.
static ObjectSerializerFactory	getInstance() Get the singleton instance of the ObjectSerializerFactory.
abstract BinaryObjectDeserializer	newBinaryDeserializer(InputStream is) Creates a BinaryObjectDeserializer for reading objects from the given stream.
abstract BinaryObjectSerializer	newBinarySerializer(OutputStream os) Creates a BinaryObjectSerializer for writing objects to the given stream.
abstract XmlObjectSerializer	newXmlSerializer(Writer w, boolean includeHeader, boolean multiObject) Creates a BinaryObjectSerializer for writing objects to the given stream.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static ObjectSerializerFactory getInstance()

Get the singleton instance of the ObjectSerializerFactory.

newBinarySerializer

public abstract BinaryObjectSerializer newBinarySerializer(OutputStream os)

Creates a BinaryObjectSerializer for writing objects to the given stream. NOTE: consider using SerializerUtil.serializeBinaryObject(Object) for convenience serializing a single object. NOTE2: do not mix and match SerializerUtil.serializeBinaryObject(Object) with {newBinaryDeserializer(InputStream). This is unsafe since there is header information and state associated with the stream. Objects written using one method must be read using the proper corresponding method.

Parameters:

os - The stream

Returns:

The serializer

newBinaryDeserializer

public abstract BinaryObjectDeserializer newBinaryDeserializer(InputStream is)

Creates a BinaryObjectDeserializer for reading objects from the given stream. NOTE: Consider using SerializerUtil.deserializeBinaryObject(byte[]) for convenience deserializing a single object. NOTE2: Do not mix and match SerializerUtil.deserializeBinaryObject(byte[]) with {newBinarySerializer(OutputStream). This is unsafe since there is header information and state associated with the stream. Objects written using one method must be read using the proper corresponding method.

Parameters:

is - The stream

Returns:

The deserializer

newXmlSerializer

public abstract XmlObjectSerializer newXmlSerializer(Writer w,
                                                     boolean includeHeader,
                                                     boolean multiObject)

Creates a BinaryObjectSerializer for writing objects to the given stream. NOTE: consider using SerializerUtil.serializeXmlObject(Object,boolean) for convenience serializing a single object. NOTE2: do not mix and match SerializerUtil.serializeXmlObject(Object,boolean) with {deserializeXmlStream(InputSource, XmlObjectResultsHandler, boolean).

Parameters:

w - The writer

includeHeader - True to include the xml header

multiObject - Is this to produce a multi-object document. If false, only a single object may be written.

Returns:

The serializer

deserializeXmlStream

public abstract void deserializeXmlStream(InputSource is,
                                          XmlObjectResultsHandler handler,
                                          boolean validate)

Deserializes XML objects from a stream NOTE: Consider using SerializerUtil.deserializeXmlObject(String,boolean) for convenience deserializing a single object. NOTE2: Do not mix and match SerializerUtil.deserializeXmlObject(String,boolean) with {newXmlSerializer(Writer, boolean, boolean).

Parameters:

is - The input source

handler - The callback to receive objects from the stream

validate - True iff we are to validate
