↳ | java.io.ObjectStreamField |
A description of a Serializable field from a Serializable class. An array of ObjectStreamFields is used to declare the Serializable fields of a class.

Creates an ObjectStreamField representing a serializable field with the given name and type. If unshared is false, values of the represented field are serialized and deserialized in the default manner--if the field is non-primitive, object values are serialized and deserialized as if they had been written and read by calls to writeObject and readObject. If unshared is true, values of the represented field are serialized and deserialized as if they had been written and read by calls to writeUnshared and readUnshared.

unshared | if false, write/read field values in the same manner as writeObject/readObject; if true, write/read in the same manner as writeUnshared/readUnshared |
Compare this field with another ObjectStreamField
. Return
-1 if this is smaller, 0 if equal, 1 if greater. Types that are
primitives are "smaller" than object types. If equal, the field names
are compared.
Get the name of this field.
String
representing the name of the serializable
field
Get the type of the field. If the type is non-primitive and this
ObjectStreamField
was obtained from a deserialized ObjectStreamClass
instance, then Object.class
is returned.
Otherwise, the Class
object for the type of the field is
returned.
Class
object representing the type of the
serializable field
Returns character encoding of field type. The encoding is as follows:
B byte C char D double F float I int J long L class or interface S short Z boolean [ array
Return the JVM type signature.
Return true if this field has a primitive type.
Returns boolean value indicating whether or not the serializable field represented by this ObjectStreamField instance is unshared.
Return a string that describes this field.
