TC_ENUM
new Enum constant.
static final byte
TC_MAX
Last tag value.
static final int
baseWireHandle
First wire handle to be assigned.
static final byte
SC_WRITE_METHOD
Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates a Serializable class defines its own writeObject method.
static final byte
SC_BLOCK_DATA
Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates Externalizable data written in Block Data mode. Added for PROTOCOL_VERSION_2.
static final byte
SC_SERIALIZABLE
Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates class is Serializable.
static final byte
SC_EXTERNALIZABLE
Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates class is Externalizable.
static final byte
SC_ENUM
Bit mask for ObjectStreamClass flag. Indicates class is an enum type.
static final SerializablePermission
SUBSTITUTION_PERMISSION
Enable substitution of one object for another during serialization/deserialization.
static final SerializablePermission
SUBCLASS_IMPLEMENTATION_PERMISSION
Enable overriding of readObject and writeObject.
public static final int
PROTOCOL_VERSION_1
A Stream Protocol Version.

All externalizable data is written in JDK 1.1 external data format after calling this method. This version is needed to write streams containing Externalizable data that can be read by pre-JDK 1.1.6 JVMs.

public static final int
PROTOCOL_VERSION_2
A Stream Protocol Version.

This protocol is written by JVM 1.2. Externalizable data is written in block data mode and is terminated with TC_ENDBLOCKDATA. Externalizable classdescriptor flags has SC_BLOCK_DATA enabled. JVM 1.1.6 and greater can read this format change. Enables writing a nonSerializable class descriptor into the stream. The serialVersionUID of a nonSerializable class is set to 0L.
