Member Function Documentation

Streamable Sct.ObjectManager.readObject (  IStream  s, String  name )  throws IOException

Read an object from an IStream. This method should be used if the object was written with writeClassName = true. First reads the className from the stream. Creates the object from the IStream See also: Streamable documentation Parameters: s  the IStream being read from in the current context. name  the name of the object in the current context. Should match the name passed to writeObject. Exceptions: IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.AbstractObjectManager.

Streamable Sct.ObjectManager.readObject (  IStream  s, String  name, String  className )  throws IOException

Read an object from an IStream. This method should be used if the object was written with writeClassName = false. Creates the object from the IStream See also: Streamable documentation Parameters: s  the IStream being read from in the current context. name  the name of the object in the current context. Should match the name passed to writeObject. className  the name of a class capable of streaming in the object. Exceptions: IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.AbstractObjectManager.

Serializable Sct.ObjectManager.readObject (  String  name  )  throws IOException

Read a Serializable using the back-end specific identifier. Exceptions: IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.File.ObjectManagerFile.

Serializable Sct.ObjectManager.readObject (  String  uniqueID, String  className )  throws IOException

Read a Serializable with uniqueID and className as given. Exceptions: IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.File.ObjectManagerFile.

void Sct.ObjectManager.writeObject (  OStream  s, String  name, Streamable  object, boolean  writeClassName )  throws IOException

Write an object to the OStream. Class object's write method. object may not be null. Causes a WriteAbortedException if it is. Parameters: s  the OStream being used (note, not guranteed to be passed to object's write method) name  the name of the object in the current context. writeClassName  if true the className will be written. Exceptions: IllegalArgumentException  if object is null IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.AbstractObjectManager.

Name Sct.ObjectManager.writeObject (  Serializable  object  )  throws IOException

Write a Serializable object. Todo: Should this take an extra back-end dependant parameter? Returns: a Name object that can be used to read the written object Exceptions: IOException  if a problem occurs during IO Implemented in Sct.File.ObjectManagerFile.
