Method Detail

createMarshalInput

MarshalInstanceInput createMarshalInput(InputStream objIn,
                                        InputStream locIn,
                                        ClassLoader defaultLoader,
                                        boolean verifyCodebaseIntegrity,
                                        ClassLoader verifierLoader,
                                        Collection context)
                                 throws IOException

Parameters:

objIn - InputStream to read serialized objects from.

locIn - InputStream to read codebase annotations from, optional.

defaultLoader - the class loader value (possibly null) to pass as the defaultLoader argument to RMIClassLoader methods

verifyCodebaseIntegrity - if true then codebase integrity is verified, otherwise code base integrity is not verified

verifierLoader - the class loader value (possibly null) to pass to Security.verifyCodebaseIntegrity, if verifyCodebaseIntegrity is true

context - the collection of context information objects or null

Returns:

a new MarshalInstanceInput instance.

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs while creating the MarshalInstanceInput.

createMarshalOutput

MarshalInstanceOutput createMarshalOutput(OutputStream objOut,
                                          OutputStream locOut,
                                          Collection context)
                                   throws IOException

Parameters:

objOut - the output stream to write objects to.

locOut - the output stream to write annotations to.

context - the collection of context information objects or null

Returns:

an instance of MarshalInstanceOutput

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException occurs while creating the MarshalInstanceOutput.
