  - getObjectInput
```
ObjectInput getObjectInput(DataInput in,
                           ClassLoader loader,
                           boolean fForceNew)
                    throws IOException
```
    Obtain an ObjectInput based on the passed DataInput.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the DataInput to be wrapped
    
    loader - the ClassLoader to be used
    
    fForceNew - if true, a new ObjectInput must be returned; otherwise, if the passed stream is already an ObjectInput, it's allowed to be returned instead

    an ObjectInput that delegates to ("wraps") the passed DataInput
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O exception occurs
  - getObjectOutput
```
ObjectOutput getObjectOutput(DataOutput out)
                      throws IOException
```

    Parameters:
    
    out - the DataOutput to be wrapped
    
    Returns:
    
    an ObjectOutput that delegates to ("wraps") the passed DataOutput
