Constructor Details

InputSerializer

public InputSerializer(InputStream in)

Constructor that passes the InputStream to the serializer

Parameters:

in - the InputStream

Method Details

readObject

public Object readObject(Serializable obj)
                  throws IOException

This method serializes an object that implements the interface Serializable, allowing to implement this behaviour in several classes

Parameters:

obj - the object where we will serialize the data

Returns:

the object serialized, just for interface coherence
