Serialization Methods

readObject

private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in)
                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Peer method to BasicEventList.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream). Note that this is functionally equivalent to a constructor and should validate that everything is in place including locks, etc.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

writeObject

private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Although EventLists are not in general, BasicEventList is Serializable. All of the ListEventListeners that are themselves Serializable will be serialized, but others will not. Note that there is no easy way to access the ListEventListeners of an EventList, particularly after it has been serialized.

As of October 3, 2005, this is the wire format of serialized BasicEventLists:

An Object[] containing each of the list's elements A ListEventListener[] containing only the listeners that themselves implement Serializable. Those that do not will not be serialized. Note that TransformedLists such as FilterList are not Serializable and will not be serialized.

As of March 4, 2007, the wire format was extended to include:

the ListEventPublisher the ReadWriteLock represented as a SerializedReadWriteLock

The motivation for this is documented here. Serialization streams with the old format are still readable. Serialization streams with the new format are not downwards-compatible.
