| A MarshalledObject contains a byte stream with the serialized
representation of an object given to its constructor. The get
method returns a new copy of the original object, as deserialized from
the contained byte stream. The contained object is serialized and
deserialized with the same serialization semantics used for marshaling
and unmarshaling parameters and return values of RMI calls: When the
serialized form is created:
- classes are annotated with a codebase URL from where the class
can be loaded (if available), and
- any remote object in the
MarshalledObject is
represented by a serialized instance of its stub.
When copy of the object is retrieved (via the get method),
if the class is not available locally, it will be loaded from the
appropriate location (specified the URL annotated with the class descriptor
when the class was serialized.
MarshalledObject facilitates passing objects in RMI calls
that are not automatically deserialized immediately by the remote peer.
