Interface ObjectOutput

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, DataOutput

All Known Implementing Classes:

ObjectOutputStream

public interface ObjectOutput
extends DataOutput, AutoCloseable

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.

Since:

JDK1.1

Method Detail

writeObject

void writeObject(Object obj)
          throws IOException

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

Throws:

IOException - Any of the usual Input/Output related exceptions.

Parameters:

obj - the object to be written

write

void write(int b)
    throws IOException

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

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

Parameters:

b - the byte

write

void write(byte[] b)
    throws IOException

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

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

Parameters:

b - the data to be written

write

void write(byte[] b,
           int off,
           int len)
    throws IOException

Writes a sub array of bytes.

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

Parameters:

b - the data to be written

off - the start offset in the data

len - the number of bytes that are written

flush

void flush()
    throws IOException

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

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.

close

void close()
    throws IOException

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

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error has occurred.
