Public Methods

public abstract boolean defaulted (String name)

Indicates if the field identified by name is defaulted. This means that it has no value in this stream.

Parameters
name the name of the field to check.
Returns
  • true if the field is defaulted, false otherwise.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if name does not identify a serializable field.
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.

public abstract long get (String name, long defaultValue)

Gets the value of the long field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
name the name of the field to get.
defaultValue the default value that is used if the field does not have a value when read from the source stream.
Returns
  • the value of the field identified by name.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.
IllegalArgumentException if the type of the field identified by name is not long.

public abstract double get (String name, double defaultValue)

Gets the value of the double field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
name the name of the field to get.
defaultValue the default value that is used if the field does not have a value when read from the source stream.
Returns
  • the value of the field identified by name.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.
IllegalArgumentException if the type of the field identified by name is not double.

public abstract float get (String name, float defaultValue)

Gets the value of the float field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
name the name of the field to get.
defaultValue the default value that is used if the field does not have a value when read from the source stream.
Returns
  • the value of the field identified by name.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.
IllegalArgumentException if the type of the field identified by float is not char.

public abstract byte get (String name, byte defaultValue)

Gets the value of the byte field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
name the name of the field to get.
defaultValue the default value that is used if the field does not have a value when read from the source stream.
Returns
  • the value of the field identified by name.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.
IllegalArgumentException if the type of the field identified by name is not byte.

public abstract char get (String name, char defaultValue)

Gets the value of the character field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
name the name of the field to get.
defaultValue the default value that is used if the field does not have a value when read from the source stream.
Returns
  • the value of the field identified by name.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while reading from the source input stream.
IllegalArgumentException if the type of the field identified by name is not char.

public abstract int get (String name, int defaultValue)

Gets the value of the integer field identified by name from the persistent field.

Parameters
