Class Overview

ObjectOutput extends the DataOutput interface to include writing of objects. DataOutput includes methods for output of primitive types, ObjectOutput extends that interface to include objects, arrays, and Strings.

Public Methods

public abstract void close ()

Closes the stream. This method must be called to release any resources associated with the stream.

Throws
IOException If an I/O error has occurred.

public abstract void flush ()

Flushes the stream. This will write any buffered output bytes.

Throws
IOException If an I/O error has occurred.

public abstract void write (byte[] b, int off, int len)

Writes a sub array of bytes.

Parameters
b the data to be written
off the start offset in the data
len the number of bytes that are written
Throws
IOException If an I/O error has occurred.

public abstract void write (byte[] b)

Writes an array of bytes. This method will block until the bytes are actually written.

Parameters
b the data to be written
Throws
IOException If an I/O error has occurred.

public abstract void write (int b)

Writes a byte. This method will block until the byte is actually written.

Parameters
b the byte
Throws
IOException If an I/O error has occurred.

public abstract void writeObject (Object obj)

Write an object to the underlying storage or stream. The class that implements this interface defines how the object is written.

Parameters
obj the object to be written
Throws
IOException Any of the usual Input/Output related exceptions.
