writeObject for custom serialization.

This method writes this object's serialized form for this class
as follows:

The getRefClass method is invoked on this object's ref field
to obtain its external ref type name.
If the value returned by getRefClass was
a non-null string of length greater than zero,
the writeUTF method is invoked on out
with the value returned by getRefClass, and then
the writeExternal method is invoked on
this object's ref field passing out
as the argument; otherwise,
the writeUTF method is invoked on out
with a zero-length string (""), and then
the writeObject method is invoked on out
passing this object's ref field as the argument.

@serialData
The serialized data for this class comprises a string (written with
ObjectOutput.writeUTF) that is either the external
ref type name of the contained RemoteRef instance
(the ref field) or a zero-length string, followed by
either the external form of the ref field as written by
its writeExternal method if the string was of non-zero
length, or the serialized form of the ref field as
written by passing it to the serialization stream's
writeObject if the string was of zero length.

If this object is an instance of RemoteStub or RemoteObjectInvocationHandler that was returned from any of the UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject methods
and custom socket factories are not used,
the external ref type name is "UnicastRef".
If this object is an instance of
RemoteStub or RemoteObjectInvocationHandler
that was returned from any of
the UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject methods
and custom socket factories are used,
the external ref type name is "UnicastRef2".
If this object is an instance of
RemoteStub or RemoteObjectInvocationHandler
that was returned from any of
the java.rmi.activation.Activatable.exportObject methods,
the external ref type name is "ActivatableRef".
If this object is an instance of
RemoteStub or RemoteObjectInvocationHandler
that was returned from
the RemoteObject.toStub method (and the argument passed
to toStub was not itself a RemoteStub),
the external ref type name is a function of how the remote object
passed to toStub was exported, as described above.
If this object is an instance of
RemoteStub or RemoteObjectInvocationHandler
that was originally created via deserialization,
the external ref type name is the same as that which was read
when this object was deserialized.

If this object is an instance of
java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject that does not
use custom socket factories,
the external ref type name is "UnicastServerRef".
If this object is an instance of
UnicastRemoteObject that does
use custom socket factories,
the external ref type name is "UnicastServerRef2".

Following is the data that must be written by the
writeExternal method and read by the
readExternal method of RemoteRef
implementation classes that correspond to the each of the
defined external ref type names:

For "UnicastRef":



For "UnicastRef2" with a
null client socket factory:



For "UnicastRef2" with a
non-null client socket factory:

    

  • the byte value 0x01
(indicating non-null client socket factory), written by DataOutput.writeByte(int) 
  • the hostname of the referenced remote object, written by DataOutput.writeUTF(String) 
  • the port of the referenced remote object, written by DataOutput.writeInt(int) 
  • a client socket factory (object of type
java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory),
written by passing it to an invocation of
writeObject on the stream instance

  • the data written as a result of calling
{link java.rmi.server.ObjID#write(java.io.ObjectOutput)}
on the ObjID instance contained in the reference

  • the boolean value false, written by DataOutput.writeBoolean(boolean) 


For "ActivatableRef" with a
null nested remote reference:

    

  • an instance of
java.rmi.activation.ActivationID,
written by passing it to an invocation of
writeObject on the stream instance

  • a zero-length string (""), written by DataOutput.writeUTF(String) 


For "ActivatableRef" with a
non-null nested remote reference:

    

  • an instance of
java.rmi.activation.ActivationID,
written by passing it to an invocation of
writeObject on the stream instance

  • the external ref type name of the nested remote reference,
which must be "UnicastRef2", written by DataOutput.writeUTF(String) 
  • the external form of the nested remote reference,
written by invoking its writeExternal method
with the stream instance
(see the description of the external form for
"UnicastRef2" above)



For "UnicastServerRef" and
"UnicastServerRef2", no data is written by the
writeExternal method or read by the
readExternal method.

readObject for custom serialization.

This method reads this object's serialized form for this class
as follows:

The readUTF method is invoked on in
to read the external ref type name for the RemoteRef
instance to be filled in to this object's ref field.
If the string returned by readUTF has length zero,
the readObject method is invoked on in,
and than the value returned by readObject is cast to
RemoteRef and this object's ref field is
set to that value.
Otherwise, this object's ref field is set to a
RemoteRef instance that is created of an
implementation-specific class corresponding to the external ref
type name returned by readUTF, and then
the readExternal method is invoked on
this object's ref field.

If the external ref type name is
"UnicastRef", "UnicastServerRef",
"UnicastRef2", "UnicastServerRef2",
or "ActivatableRef", a corresponding
implementation-specific class must be found, and its
readExternal method must read the serial data
for that external ref type name as specified to be written
in the serialData documentation for this class.
If the external ref type name is any other string (of non-zero
length), a ClassNotFoundException will be thrown,
unless the implementation provides an implementation-specific
class corresponding to that external ref type name, in which
case this object's ref field will be set to an
instance of that implementation-specific class.
