Interface SerializationSupport

public interface SerializationSupport

The SerializationSupport interface provides the ability for objects that are serialized by any Serializer to affect the initial stage of serialization and the final stage of deserialization.

The semantics of this interface's methods are identical to the writeReplace and readResolve pseudo-interface methods defined by the Serializable interface.

This interface provides trivial implementations of both methods to allow implementors to override only the necessary one.

writeReplace

default Object writeReplace()
                     throws ObjectStreamException

Designate an alternative object to be used when writing an object to the buffer.

Returns:

an object which state should be written instead of the original one

Throws:

ObjectStreamException

readResolve

                    throws ObjectStreamException
