Class Reviver

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.erights.e.elib.serial.Reviver

Direct Known Subclasses:

CapTPReviver, PersistenceReviver, Unserializer

public abstract class Reviver

extends Object

Untamed: Used to parameterize an UnserializationStream.

UnserializationStream will probably need more parameters, but we should add them as we find we need them, rather than create another subclass.

Likely additional parameters:

• Name of format and version (a string)
• optional ClassLoader
