Method Detail

• deserializeInstance

  public abstract void deserializeInstance(SerializationStreamReader streamReader,
                         T instance)
                                    throws SerializationException

  Deserializes the content of the object from the SerializationStreamReader.

  Parameters:

  streamReader - the SerializationStreamReader to read the object's content from

  instance - the object instance to deserialize

  Throws:

  SerializationException - if the deserialization operation is not successful

• hasCustomInstantiateInstance

  public boolean hasCustomInstantiateInstance()

  Returns:

  true if a specialist instantiateInstance(com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationStreamReader) is implemented; false otherwise

• instantiateInstance

  public T instantiateInstance(SerializationStreamReader streamReader)
                        throws SerializationException

  Instantiates an object from the SerializationStreamReader.

  Most of the time, this can be left unimplemented and the framework will instantiate the instance itself. This is typically used when the object being deserialized is immutable, hence it has to be created with its state already set.

  If this is overridden, the hasCustomInstantiateInstance() method must return true in order for the framework to know to call it.

  Parameters:

  streamReader - the SerializationStreamReader to read the object's content from

  Returns:

  an object that has been loaded from the SerializationStreamReader

  Throws:

  SerializationException - if the instantiation operation is not successful

• serializeInstance

  public abstract void serializeInstance(SerializationStreamWriter streamWriter,
                       T instance)
                                  throws SerializationException

  Serializes the content of the object into the SerializationStreamWriter.

  Parameters:

  streamWriter - the SerializationStreamWriter to write the object's content to

  instance - the object instance to serialize

  Throws:

  SerializationException - if the serialization operation is not successful
