public interface ITypeSerializer<T>

The ITypeSerializer interface defines standard methods for serialization and deserialization of a specific type.

Method Summary

int	getMaxValue() Gets the maximal value used to detect this type in stream.
int	getMinValue() Gets the minimal value used to detect this type in stream.
Class<T>	getTypeClass() Gets the type class that can be serialized by this serializer.
T	read(UniversalSerializer pSerializer, DataInputStream pIn, int pTypeValue, TypeCache pCache) Reads in a serialized object from a stream.
void	write(UniversalSerializer pSerializer, DataOutputStream pOut, T pObject, TypeCache pCache) Writes a serialized object to a stream.

Method Detail

getTypeClass

Class<T> getTypeClass()

Gets the type class that can be serialized by this serializer.

Returns:

the type class.

getMinValue

int getMinValue()

Gets the minimal value used to detect this type in stream.

Returns:

the minimal value used to detect this type in stream.

getMaxValue

int getMaxValue()

Gets the maximal value used to detect this type in stream.

Returns:

the maximal value used to detect this type in stream.

read

T read(UniversalSerializer pSerializer,
       DataInputStream pIn,
       int pTypeValue,
       TypeCache pCache)
       throws Exception

Reads in a serialized object from a stream.

Parameters:

pSerializer - the universal serializer.

pIn - stream with serialized content

pTypeValue - type value.

pCache - the cache for BeanType definitions

Returns:

deserialized object

Throws:

Exception - if deserialization fails

write

void write(UniversalSerializer pSerializer,
           DataOutputStream pOut,
           T pObject,
           TypeCache pCache)
           throws Exception

Writes a serialized object to a stream.

Parameters:

pSerializer - the universal serializer.

pOut - output stream for the object

pObject - serializable object

pCache - the cache for BeanType definitions

Throws:

Exception - if serialization fails
