Interface DataSerializable.Replaceable

  • Enclosing interface:
    DataSerializable
    public static interface DataSerializable.Replaceable
    Replaceable allows an object to write an alternative version of itself to a DataOutput. It is similar to the writeReplace method of standard Java serialization.

    Note that if a Replaceable is also DataSerializable, its toData method will not be invoked. Instead, its replacement object will be written to the stream using DataSerializer.writeObject(Object, DataOutput).
