Class AbstractDelegatingMarshaller

java.lang.Object

org.infinispan.commons.marshall.AbstractDelegatingMarshaller

All Implemented Interfaces:

Marshaller, StreamingMarshaller

public abstract class AbstractDelegatingMarshaller
extends Object
implements StreamingMarshaller

With the introduction of global and cache marshallers, there's a need to separate marshallers but still rely on the same marshalling backend as previously. So, this class acts as a delegator for the new marshallers.

Since:

5.0

Method Detail

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from interface: StreamingMarshaller

Stop the marshaller. Implementations of this method should clear up any cached data, or close any resources while marshalling/unmarshalling that have not been already closed.

Specified by:

stop in interface StreamingMarshaller

startObjectOutput

public ObjectOutput startObjectOutput(OutputStream os,
                             boolean isReentrant,
                             int estimatedSize)

Description copied from interface: StreamingMarshaller

Create and open an ObjectOutput instance for the given output stream. This method should be used for opening data outputs when multiple objectToObjectStream() calls will be made before the stream is closed by calling finishObjectOutput().

This method also takes a boolean that represents whether this particular call to startObjectOutput() is reentrant or not. A call to startObjectOutput() should be marked reentrant whenever a 2nd or more calls to this method are made without having called finishObjectOutput() first.

To potentially speed up calling startObjectOutput multiple times in a non-reentrant way, i.e. startObjectOutput/finishObjectOutput...startObjectOutput/finishObjectOutput...etc, which is is the most common case, the StreamingMarshaller implementation could potentially use some mechanisms to speed up this startObjectOutput call.

On the other hand, when a call is reentrant, i.e. startObjectOutput/startObjectOutput(reentrant)...finishObjectOutput/finishObjectOutput, the StreamingMarshaller implementation might treat it differently. An example of reentrancy would be marshalling of MarshalledValue. When sending or storing a MarshalledValue, a call to startObjectOutput() would occur so that the stream is open and following, a 2nd call could occur so that MarshalledValue's raw byte array version is calculated and sent across. This enables storing as binary on the receiver side which is performance gain. The StreamingMarshaller implementation could decide that it needs a separate ObjectOutput or similar for the 2nd call since it's aim is only to get the raw byte array version and the close finish with it.

Specified by:

startObjectOutput in interface StreamingMarshaller

Parameters:

os - output stream

isReentrant - whether the call is reentrant or not.

estimatedSize - estimated size in bytes of the output. Only meant as a possible performance optimization.

Returns:

ObjectOutput to write to

finishObjectOutput

public void finishObjectOutput(ObjectOutput oo)

Description copied from interface: StreamingMarshaller

Finish using the given ObjectOutput. After opening a ObjectOutput and calling objectToObjectStream() multiple times, use this method to flush the data and close if necessary

Specified by:

finishObjectOutput in interface StreamingMarshaller

Parameters:

oo - data output that finished using

objectToObjectStream

public void objectToObjectStream(Object obj,
                        ObjectOutput out)

Description copied from interface: StreamingMarshaller

Marshalls an object to a given ObjectOutput

Specified by:

objectToObjectStream in interface StreamingMarshaller

Parameters:

obj - object to marshall

out - stream to marshall to

startObjectInput

public ObjectInput startObjectInput(InputStream is,
                           boolean isReentrant)

Description copied from interface: StreamingMarshaller

Create and open a new ObjectInput for the given input stream. This method should be used for opening data inputs when multiple objectFromObjectStream() calls will be made before the stream is closed.

This method also takes a boolean that represents whether this particular call to startObjectInput() is reentrant or not. A call to startObjectInput() should be marked reentrant whenever a 2nd or more calls to this method are made without having called finishObjectInput() first.

To potentially speed up calling startObjectInput multiple times in a non-reentrant way, i.e. startObjectInput/finishObjectInput...startObjectInput/finishObjectInput...etc, which is is the most common case, the StreamingMarshaller implementation could potentially use some mechanisms to speed up this startObjectInput call.

Specified by:

startObjectInput in interface StreamingMarshaller

Parameters:

is - input stream

isReentrant - whether the call is reentrant or not.

Returns:

ObjectInput to read from

objectToByteBuffer

public byte[] objectToByteBuffer(Object obj,
                        int estimatedSize)

Description copied from interface: Marshaller

Marshalls an object to a byte array. The estimatedSize parameter is a hint that can be passed in to allow for efficient sizing of the byte array before attempting to marshall the object. The more accurate this estimate is, the less likely byte[]s will need to be resized to hold the byte stream generated by marshalling the object.

Specified by:

objectToByteBuffer in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

obj - object to convert to a byte array. Must not be null.

estimatedSize - an estimate of how large the resulting byte array may be

Returns:

a byte array with the marshalled form of the object

objectToByteBuffer

public byte[] objectToByteBuffer(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: Marshaller

Marshalls an object to a byte array.

Specified by:

objectToByteBuffer in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

obj - object to convert to a byte array. Must not be null.

Returns:

a byte array

objectFromByteBuffer

public Object objectFromByteBuffer(byte[] buf)

Description copied from interface: Marshaller

Unmarshalls an object from a byte array.

Specified by:

objectFromByteBuffer in interface Marshaller

Parameters:

Returns:

an object

objectFromByteBuffer

public Object objectFromByteBuffer(byte[] buf,
                          int offset,

getBufferSizePredictor

public BufferSizePredictor getBufferSizePredictor(Object o)
