Class GateAwareObjectInputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.InputStream
      java.io.ObjectInputStream
          gate.persist.GateAwareObjectInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, DataInput, ObjectInput, ObjectStreamConstants

public class GateAwareObjectInputStream
extends ObjectInputStream

An ObjectInputStream that attempts to resolve the classes of objects loaded from the stream via the GateClassLoader if they cannot be found by the usual means. This allows LRs to be loaded successfully from a serial datastore when they have features (or annotations with features) whose class is defined in a plugin.

Constructor Detail

GateAwareObjectInputStream

public GateAwareObjectInputStream(InputStream source)
                           throws IOException

Creates a GATE aware object input stream to read from the given source.

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

resolveClass

protected Class<?> resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc)
                         throws IOException,
                                ClassNotFoundException

Resolve the class of an object read from the stream. First attempts to use the default resolution method provided by ObjectInputStream. If that fails with a ClassNotFoundException then tries to resolve the class via the GATE classloader instead.

Overrides:

resolveClass in class ObjectInputStream

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

resolveProxyClass

protected Class<?> resolveProxyClass(String[] interfaces)
                              throws IOException,
                                     ClassNotFoundException

Resolve a proxy class that implements the given interfaces. First attempts to use the default resolution method provided by ObjectInputStream. If that fails with a ClassNotFoundException then tries to resolve the interfaces and create the proxy class using the GATE classloader instead.

Overrides:

resolveProxyClass in class ObjectInputStream

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException
