Interface ObjectOutput

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, DataOutput
Known Implementing Classes:
CorbaOutput, DefaultWriteObjectTester, ObjectOutputStream, RMIMarshalledObjectOutputStream, RMIObjectOutputStream

public interface ObjectOutput
extends DataOutput, AutoCloseable

This interface extends DataOutput to provide the additional facility of writing object instances to a stream. It also adds some additional methods to make the interface more OutputStream like.

Method Summary

void
close()
This method closes the underlying stream.
void
flush()
This method causes any buffered data to be flushed out to the underlying stream
void
write(byte[] buf)
This method writes all the bytes in the specified byte array to the output stream.
void
write(byte[] buf, int offset, int len)
This method writes len bytes from the specified array starting at index offset into that array.
void
write(int b)
This method writes the specified byte to the output stream.
void
writeObject(Object obj)
This method writes a object instance to a stream.
