public class XMLObjectOutputStream

extends java.io.ObjectOutputStream

XMLObjectOutputStream is an extension of ObjectOutputStream which provides for serialization for arbitrary Java objects, in the same manner as the ObjectOutputStream class. This class supports all of the features of the ObjectOutputStream, including serialization support for any Java object graph implementing the Serializable interface, maintenance of references in the object graph, support for Externalizable classes, custom serialization via the writeObject() method, alternate field writing mechanisms via the putFields() and writeFields() methods, support for the writeUnshared() method, custom serializable field specification via the serialPersistentFields field, and dynamic object replacement via the writeReplace() method. The format of the XML data written does conform to the JSX XML Schema, available online at http://www.jsx.org/jsx.xsd. This class is designed to be able to write objects which can then be deserialized using JSX, however, this has not been fully tested and bugs may be encountered.

Method which can be called by objects if they have a writeObject() method. This method initiates the default field serialization mechanism, and writes all of the object's fields to the stream. If this method is called, the putFields() method CANNOT be called by the same object. However, one of these two methods MUST be called in the context of a writeObject().

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an error occurs

java.io.NotActiveException - If a object is not currently being written

putFields

public java.io.ObjectOutputStream.PutField putFields()

Method which can be called by objects if they have a writeObject() method. This method returns an object which the callee can then use to specify exactly which fields and values should be written to the steam, and can specify fields which do not exist as a member of the object. If this method is called, the defaultWriteObject() method CANNOT be called by the same object. However, one of these two methods MUST be called in the context of a writeObject().

Returns:

A PutField, a container for fields to be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an error occurs

java.io.NotActiveException - If a object is not currently being read

writeFields

public void writeFields()

Method which writes the current state of the PutField object to the stream as this object's fields. If this method is called, the defaultWriteObject() method CANNOT be called by the same object. However, one of these two methods MUST be called in the context of a writeObject().

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an error occurs

java.io.NotActiveException - If a object is not currently being read

protected void putReference(java.lang.Object o,
                            java.lang.String reference)

                            throws java.io.IOException

Method which writes an object to the stream. This method assumes that the type of object which is being read is *sharable*, even if it is not going to be shared. Thus, this method can write objects of type String, Array, or Serializable. This method first calls the object's writeReplace() method, if such a method exists, and if a different object is returned, that object is written instead.

                                   boolean shared)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Method which writes an ordinary object to the stream (not a String or Array). This method first writes the class type, and a list of the classes' supertypes. If the object is Externalizable, the writeExternal() method is called and the method returns. Otherwise, each of the superclasses are written, from highest to lowest, using the writeClass() method. If the object is not serializable, a NotSerializableException is thrown.

Parameters:

o - The object to write to the stream

field - The field name to write the object as

shared - Whether or not to record a reference to this object

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an error occurs

                          java.lang.Class c)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Method which writes the information for one class for a given object to the stream. This method first writes the class type, and if it defines a writeObject() method, it is called. Otherwise, the fields are written in a default manner. Any extra data not read in the stream is read and ignored.

Parameters:

o - The object get the primitive from

f - The field representing the primitive about to be written

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an error occurs
