Method Detail

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable()

Description copied from interface: FileSyntax

Indicates whether this syntax can be used. Some syntaxes rely on classes that are not always present in the class-path.

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface FileSyntax

canRead

public boolean canRead()

Description copied from interface: FileSyntax

Is reading supported?

Specified by:

canRead in interface FileSyntax

canWrite

public boolean canWrite()

Description copied from interface: FileSyntax

Is writing supported?

Specified by:

canWrite in interface FileSyntax

readableClasses

public java.util.List readableClasses()

Description copied from interface: FileSyntax

The classes whose instances can be read in. General-purpose syntaxes can read (at least) instances of every class that has a ClassSyntax. They can return a list containing only Object.class.

Specified by:

readableClasses in interface FileSyntax

writableClasses

public java.util.List writableClasses()

Description copied from interface: FileSyntax

The classes whose instances can be written out. General-purpose syntaxes can write (at least) instances of every class that has a ClassSyntax. They can return a list containing only Object.class.

Specified by:

writableClasses in interface FileSyntax

readObject

public java.lang.Object readObject(java.net.URL url)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

readObject in interface Loader

Throws:

java.io.IOException

writeObject

public void writeObject(java.lang.Object obj,
                        java.io.File file)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

writeObject in interface Saver

Throws:

java.io.IOException

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

existsClass

protected boolean existsClass(java.lang.String className)

makeInstance

protected java.lang.Object makeInstance(java.lang.String className)
