Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`T`	`deserialize(ByteBuffer buf)`	Deserialize from the specified `DataInput` instance.
`void`	`serialize(T value, ByteBuffer buf)`	Serialize the specified type into the specified `ByteBuffer` instance.
`int`	`serializedSize(T value)`	Calculate the number of bytes that will be produced by `serialize(Object, java.nio.ByteBuffer)` for given object `t`.

- Method Detail
  - serialize
```
void serialize(T value,
               ByteBuffer buf)
```
    Serialize the specified type into the specified ByteBuffer instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - non-null object that needs to be serialized
    
    buf - ByteBuffer into which serialization needs to happen.
  - deserialize
```
T deserialize(ByteBuffer buf)
```
    Deserialize from the specified DataInput instance.
    Implementations of this method should never return null. Although there might be no explicit runtime checks, a violation would break the contract of several API methods in OHCache. For example users of OHCache.get(Object) might not be able to distinguish between a non-existing entry or the "value" null. Instead, consider returning a singleton replacement object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buf - ByteBuffer from which deserialization needs to happen.
    
    Returns:
    
    the type that was deserialized. Must not return null.
  - serializedSize
```
int serializedSize(T value)
```
    Calculate the number of bytes that will be produced by serialize(Object, java.nio.ByteBuffer) for given object t.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - non-null object to calculate serialized size for
    
    Returns:
    
    serialized size of t
