Class CompressingMarshaller

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.remoting.marshal.serializable.SerializableMarshaller
      org.jboss.remoting.marshal.compress.CompressingMarshaller

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Marshaller, PreferredStreamMarshaller, SerialMarshaller, VersionedMarshaller

public class CompressingMarshaller
extends SerializableMarshaller

CompressingMarshaller and CompressingUnMarshaller are a general purpose compressing marshaller / decompressing unmarshaller pair based on Java's GZIP facilities.

CompressingMarshaller is subclassed from SerializableMarshaller, and by default it uses super.write() to marshall an object, which is then compressed. Optionally, it can wrap any other marshaller and use that instead of SerializableMarshaller to marshall an object before it is compressed. For example,

new CompressingMarshaller(new HTTPMarshaller())

will create a marshaller that compresses the output of an HTTPMarshaller.
