Package org.jboss.marshalling

The marshalling API. Marshalling is done by use of Marshaller and Unmarshaller instances. These instances are acquired from a MarshallerFactory using a Configuration to configure them. The default implementation is the River protocol, usable by way of the org.jboss.marshalling.river package.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractClassResolver	A base implementation of ClassResolver which simply resolves the class against a classloader which is specified by the subclass implementation.
AbstractMarshaller	An abstract implementation of the Marshaller interface.
AbstractMarshallerFactory	An abstract implementation of the MarshallerFactory interface.
AbstractObjectInput	An abstract object input implementation.
AbstractObjectOutput	An abstract object output implementation.
AbstractUnmarshaller	An abstract implementation of the Unmarshaller interface.
AnnotationClassExternalizerFactory	An externalizer factory which looks for the presence of the Externalize annotation.
ByteBufferInput	An InputStream which implements ByteInput and reads bytes from a ByteBuffer.
ByteBufferOutput	An OutputStream implementing ByteOutput which writes to a ByteBuffer.
ByteInputStream	An InputStream which implements ByteInput and reads bytes from another ByteInput.
ByteOutputStream	An OutputStream which implements ByteOutput and writes bytes to another ByteOutput.
BytePipe	A paired ByteInput and ByteOutput.
ByteWriter	A writer for class or object tables which simply writes a flat sequence of bytes.
ChainingClassExternalizerFactory	A class externalizer factory that tries each delegate externalizer factory in sequence, returning the first match.
ChainingClassTable	A class table that multiplexes up to 256 class tables.
ChainingObjectResolver	An object resolver which runs a sequence of object resolvers.
ChainingObjectTable	An object table that multiplexes up to 256 class tables.
ContextClassResolver	A class resolver which uses the context classloader to resolve classes.
FieldSetter	A setter for a (possibly final) field, which allows for correct object initialization of Serializable objects with readObject() methods, even in the presence of final fields.
InputStreamByteInput	An InputStream implementing ByteInput which reads input from another InputStream.
LimitedByteInput	A limited byte input stream.
LimitedByteOutput	A limited byte output stream.
MappingClassExternalizerFactory	An externalizer factory which uses a fixed mapping from class to externalizer.
MarshallerObjectInput	A marshaller's object input.
MarshallerObjectInputStream	A marshaller's object input stream.
MarshallerObjectOutput	A marshaller's object output.
MarshallerObjectOutputStream	A marshaller's object output stream.
Marshalling	Static utility methods for simplifying use of marshallers.
MarshallingConfiguration	A Marshaller configuration.
MarshallingObjectOutputStream	An object output stream which wraps a Marshaller, which may be used by legacy ObjectOutputStream-based applications that wish to use the marshalling framework.
ModularClassResolver	A class table which implements an alternate class resolution strategy based on JBoss Modules.
ModularClassTable	A class table which implements an alternate class resolution strategy based on JBoss Modules.
ObjectInputStreamUnmarshaller	An Unmarshaller which simply wraps an object stream.
ObjectOutputStreamMarshaller	A Marshaller which simply wraps an object stream.
OutputStreamByteOutput	An OutputStream which implements ByteInput and reads data from another OutputStream.
Pair<A,B>	A serializable pair of values.
Pair.Externalizer	An externalizer for Pair instances.
SimpleByteInput	A simple byte input which extends InputStream.
SimpleByteOutput	A simple byte output which extends OutputStream.

SimpleDataInput	A simple base implementation of DataInput which wraps a ByteInput.
SimpleDataOutput	A simple base implementation of DataOutput which wraps a ByteOutput.

TraceInformation.ClassInfo	Information about a class which was being (un-)marshalled at the time an exception occurred.
TraceInformation.FieldInfo	Information about a field which was being marshalled at the time an exception occurred.
TraceInformation.IncompleteObjectInfo	Information about an incomplete object being unmarshalled.
TraceInformation.IndexInfo	Information about an index in an array or collection.

Version	The version of the Marshalling API.
