Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readObject

T readObject(ObjectInput input)
      throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException

Read an instance from the stream. The instance will have been written by the writeObject(ObjectOutput, Object) method. Implementations are free to create instances of the object read from the stream in any way that they feel like. This could be via constructor, factory or reflection.

Parameters:

Returns:

the object instance

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
