Class CompressingUnMarshaller

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.remoting.marshal.serializable.SerializableUnMarshaller
      org.jboss.remoting.marshal.compress.CompressingUnMarshaller

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, PreferredStreamUnMarshaller, SerialUnMarshaller, UnMarshaller, VersionedUnMarshaller

public class CompressingUnMarshaller
extends SerializableUnMarshaller

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

CompressingUnMarshaller is subclassed from SerializableUnMarshaller, and by default it uses super.read() to deserialize an object, once the object has been uncompressed. Optionally, it can wrap any other unmarshaller and use that instead of SerializableUnMarshaller to unmarshall an uncompressed input stream. For example,

new CompressingUnMarshaller(new HTTPUnMarshaller()) will create an umarshaller that uses an HTTPUnMarshaller to restore an uncompressed input stream.

CompressingUnMarshaller

public CompressingUnMarshaller()

Create a new CompressingUnMarshaller.

CompressingUnMarshaller

public CompressingUnMarshaller(UnMarshaller unMarshaller)

Create a new CompressingUnMarshaller.

Parameters:

unMarshaller - unmarshaller to be used to restore uncompressed byte stream to original object

Method Detail

read

public java.lang.Object read(java.io.InputStream inputStream,
                             java.util.Map metadata,
                             int version)
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Restores a compressed, marshalled form of an object to its original state.

Specified by:

read in interface VersionedUnMarshaller

Overrides:

read in class SerializableUnMarshaller

Parameters:

inputStream - InputStream from which marshalled form is to be retrieved

metadata - can be any transport specific metadata (such as headers from http transport). This can be null, depending on if transport supports metadata.

version - wire format version

Returns:

restored object

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is a problem reading from inputStream

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if there is a problem finding a class needed for unmarshalling

cloneUnMarshaller

public UnMarshaller cloneUnMarshaller()
                               throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Returns a new CompressingUnMarshaller

Specified by:

cloneUnMarshaller in interface UnMarshaller

Overrides:

cloneUnMarshaller in class SerializableUnMarshaller

Returns:

a new CompressingUnMarshaller

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - In practice no exceptions are thrown.
