TC_PROXYCLASSDESC

public static final byte TC_PROXYCLASSDESC
Enabled: new Proxy Class Descriptor.


TC_MAX

public static final byte TC_MAX
Enabled: Last tag value.


baseWireHandle

public static final int baseWireHandle
Enabled: First wire handle to be assigned.


SC_WRITE_METHOD

public static final byte SC_WRITE_METHOD
Enabled: Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates a Serializable class defines its own writeObject method.


SC_BLOCK_DATA

public static final byte SC_BLOCK_DATA
Enabled: Bit mask for ObejctStreamClass flag. Indicates Externalizable data written in Block Data mode. Added for PROTOCOL_VERSION_2.

Since:
1.2
See Also:
PROTOCOL_VERSION_2

SC_SERIALIZABLE

public static final byte SC_SERIALIZABLE
Enabled: Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates class is Serializable.


SC_EXTERNALIZABLE

public static final byte SC_EXTERNALIZABLE
Enabled: Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates class is Externalizable.


SUBSTITUTION_PERMISSION

public static final SerializablePermission SUBSTITUTION_PERMISSION
Enabled: Enable substitution of one object for another during serialization/deserialization.

Since:
1.2
See Also:
java.io.ObjectOutputStream#enableReplaceObject(boolean), java.io.ObjectInputStream#enableResolveObject(boolean)

SUBCLASS_IMPLEMENTATION_PERMISSION

public static final SerializablePermission SUBCLASS_IMPLEMENTATION_PERMISSION
Enabled: Enable overriding of readObject and writeObject.

Since:
1.2
See Also:
java.io.ObjectOutputStream#writeObjectOverride(Object), java.io.ObjectInputStream#readObjectOverride()

PROTOCOL_VERSION_1

public static final int PROTOCOL_VERSION_1
Enabled: A Stream Protocol Version.

All externalizable data is written in JDK 1.1 external data format after calling this method. This version is needed to write streams containing Externalizable data that can be read by pre-JDK 1.1.6 JVMs.

Since:
1.2
See Also:
java.io.ObjectOutputStream#useProtocolVersion(int)

PROTOCOL_VERSION_2

public static final int PROTOCOL_VERSION_2
Enabled: A Stream Protocol Version.

This protocol is written by JVM 1.2. Externalizable data is written in block data mode and is terminated with TC_ENDBLOCKDATA. Externalizable classdescriptor flags has SC_BLOCK_DATA enabled. JVM 1.1.6 and greater can read this format change. Enables writing a nonSerializable class descriptor into the stream. The serialVersionUID of a nonSerializable class is set to 0L.

Since:
1.2
See Also:
java.io.ObjectOutputStream#useProtocolVersion(int), SC_BLOCK_DATA
