Method Detail

getBufferSizePredictor

public BufferSizePredictor getBufferSizePredictor(Class<?> type)

Get the serialized form size predictor for a particular type.

Parameters:

type - Marshallable type for which serialized form size will be predicted

Returns:

an instance of BufferSizePredictor

isKnownMarshallable

public boolean isKnownMarshallable(Class<?> type)

Returns whether the hint on whether a particular type is marshallable or not is available. This method can be used to avoid attempting to marshall a type, if the hints for the type have already been calculated.

Parameters:

type - Marshallable type to check whether an attempt to mark it as marshallable has been made.

Returns:

true if the type has been marked as marshallable at all, false if no attempt has been made to mark the type as marshallable.

isMarshallable

public boolean isMarshallable(Class<?> type)

Returns whether a type can be serialized. In order for a type to be considered marshallable, the type must have been marked as marshallable using the markMarshallable(Class, boolean) method earlier, passing true as parameter. If a type has not yet been marked as marshallable, this method will return false.

markMarshallable

public void markMarshallable(Class<?> type,
                             boolean isMarshallable)

Marks a particular type as being marshallable or not being not marshallable.

Parameters:

type - Class to mark as serializable or non-serializable

isMarshallable - Whether the type can be marshalled or not.

clear

public void clear()

Clear the cached marshallable type hints.
