public interface Deserializer

Deserializing an object. Custom deserializers should extend from AbstractDeserializer to avoid issues with signature changes.

Method Summary

Object	createField(String name) Returns the deserializer's field reader for the given name.
Object[]	createFields(int len) Creates an empty array for the deserializers field entries.
Class<?>	getType()

Object	readLengthList(AbstractHessianInput in, int length)
Object	readList(AbstractHessianInput in, int length)
Object	readMap(AbstractHessianInput in)
Object	readObject(AbstractHessianInput in)
Object	readObject(AbstractHessianInput in, Object[] fields) Reads the object from the input stream, given the field definition.
