serialize

public void serialize(EncodingTokenWriter dataWriter,
                      java.lang.Object data,
                      int[] arrayPos,
                      SerializationContext context,
                      SerializationChain chain)
               throws MessageCreatingException

Serializes the object to the EncodingTokenWriter.

Parameters:

dataWriter - the writer to which the object is serialized

arrayPos - the position of this item in array, or null if the item is not in sparse array

data - the data being serialized

context - drives the serialization process

Throws:

MessageCreatingException - if something goes wrong

grabReferences

public void grabReferences(java.lang.Object data,
                           SerializationContext context,
                           SerializationChain chain)
                    throws MessageCreatingException

Traverses the graph of java objects (pointed by data) and stores objects that will be serialized into context via SerializationContext.registerReference(...)

Parameters:

data - the data being serialized

context - drives the serialization process

Throws:

MessageCreatingException - if something goes wrong

init

public void init(Configurable configurable)

Initializes the serializer. Called anytime before the serializer is used.

Parameters:

configurable - the configurable of the serializer
