Method Summary

ObjectInputStream	createObjectInputStream(InputStream is, boolean resolveObject, ClassLoader appClassLoader) Obtain an ObjectInputStream that allows de-serialization of a graph of objects.
ObjectOutputStream	createObjectOutputStream(OutputStream os, boolean replaceObject) Obtain an ObjectOutputStream that allows serialization of a graph of objects.

Method Detail

createObjectOutputStream

ObjectOutputStream createObjectOutputStream(OutputStream os,
                                            boolean replaceObject)
                                            throws IOException

Obtain an ObjectOutputStream that allows serialization of a graph of objects. The objects can be plain Serializable objects or can be converted into Serializable objects using the handler

Returns:

an ObjectOutputStream that can be used to serialize objects

Throws:

IOException - when the serialziation fails

createObjectInputStream

ObjectInputStream createObjectInputStream(InputStream is,
                                          boolean resolveObject,
                                          ClassLoader appClassLoader)
                                          throws Exception

Obtain an ObjectInputStream that allows de-serialization of a graph of objects.

Returns:

an ObjectInputStream that can be used to deserialize objects

Throws:

IOException - when the de-serialziation fails

Exception
