Interface Deserializer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Deserialized type

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

DescriptorContainer.DescriptorContainerDeserializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractSerialization, CompactStringStorageSerialization, DelegatingDeserializer, MasterMoleculeStorageSerialization, ProgressiveSerializationImpl.DeserializerImpl, SlowlyDeserializingMms

public interface Deserializer<T>
extends Serializable

Reads an object from an ObjectInputStream. The underlying implementation might use custom protocol. Typical use case:

• An instance of an appropriate Deserializer is followed by the content to be deserialized
• Client code uses ObjectInputStream.readObject() to get the deserializer
• Client code passes the ObjectInputStream reference to method deserialize(java.io.ObjectInputStream, com.chemaxon.calculations.common.SubProgressObserver) of the acquired Deserializer to do the deserialization.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	deserialize(ObjectInputStream ois, SubProgressObserver po) Deserialize.
Class<T>	getDeserializedType() Type to be deserialized.

Method Detail

getDeserializedType

Class<T> getDeserializedType()

Type to be deserialized.

Returns:

deserialized type

deserialize

T deserialize(ObjectInputStream ois,
              SubProgressObserver po)
       throws IOException,
              ClassNotFoundException

Deserialize. Work units for progress observing represent the logical units of the deserialized strucure and not its binary size.

Parameters:

ois - Stream to read from. Will not be closed upon finishing.

po - Progess observer to track progress. Possibly will be swithced to determinate using ProgressObserver.switchToDeterminate(long). Method ProgressObserver.done() will be called upon finishing.

Returns:

Deserialized instance

Throws:

IOException - when deserialization failed

ClassNotFoundException
