Constructor Detail

SimpleSerializer

public SimpleSerializer()

Default constructor.

SimpleSerializer

public SimpleSerializer(ClassLoader loader)

Construct a SimpleSerializer that will use the passed ClassLoader.

Parameters:

loader - the ClassLoader to use for deserialization

Method Detail

serialize

public void serialize(WriteBuffer.BufferOutput out,
                      Object o)
               throws IOException

Serialize an object to a WriteBuffer by writing its state using the specified BufferOutput object.

Specified by:

serialize in interface Serializer

Parameters:

out - the BufferOutput with which to write the object's state

o - the object to serialize

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

deserialize

public Object deserialize(ReadBuffer.BufferInput in)
                   throws IOException

Deserialize an object from a ReadBuffer by reading its state using the specified BufferInput object.

Specified by:

deserialize in interface Serializer

Parameters:

in - the BufferInput with which to read the object's state

Returns:

the deserialized user type instance

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

getContextClassLoader

public ClassLoader getContextClassLoader()

Retrieve the context ClassLoader for this object. The context ClassLoader is provided by the creator of the object for use by the object when loading classes and resources.

Specified by:

getContextClassLoader in interface ClassLoaderAware

Returns:

the context ClassLoader for this object

See Also:

Thread.getContextClassLoader()

setContextClassLoader

public void setContextClassLoader(ClassLoader loader)

Specify the context ClassLoader for this object. The context ClassLoader can be set when the object is created, and allows the creator to provide the appropriate class loader to be used by the object when when loading classes and resources.

Specified by:

setContextClassLoader in interface ClassLoaderAware

Parameters:

loader - the context ClassLoader for this object
