Interface MethodDescriptor.Marshaller<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of serializable message

All Known Subinterfaces:

MethodDescriptor.PrototypeMarshaller<T>, MethodDescriptor.ReflectableMarshaller<T>

Enclosing class:

MethodDescriptor<ReqT,RespT>

public static interface MethodDescriptor.Marshaller<T>

A typed abstraction over message serialization and deserialization, a.k.a. marshalling and unmarshalling.

Stub implementations will define implementations of this interface for each of the request and response messages provided by a service.

Since:

1.0.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	parse(InputStream stream) Given an InputStream parse it into an instance of the declared type so that it can be passed to application code.
InputStream	stream(T value) Given a message, produce an InputStream for it so that it can be written to the wire.

Method Detail

stream

InputStream stream(T value)

Given a message, produce an InputStream for it so that it can be written to the wire. Where possible implementations should produce streams that are KnownLength to improve transport efficiency.

Parameters:

value - to serialize.

Returns:

serialized value as stream of bytes.

parse

T parse(InputStream stream)

Given an InputStream parse it into an instance of the declared type so that it can be passed to application code.

Parameters:
