Name
ObjectInputValidation
Synopsis
A class implements this interface and
defines the validateObject(
)
method in order to validate itself when
it and all the objects it depends on have been completely
deserialized from an ObjectInputStream
. The
validateObject( )
method is only invoked, however,
if the object is passed to
ObjectInputStream.registerValidation(
)
; this must be done from the
readObject( )
method of the object. Note that if an object is deserialized as part
of a larger object graph, its validateObject( )
method is not invoked until the entire graph is read, and the
original call to ObjectInputStream.readObject( )
is about to return. validateObject( )
should throw
an
InvalidObjectException
if the object fails validation. This stops object serialization, and
the original call to ObjectInputStream.readObject(
)
terminates with the
InvalidObjectException
exception.
