Class Channel_JavaFramedSerializer

java.lang.Object

anbxj.Channel_JavaFramedSerializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Channel_MessageSerializer

public final class Channel_JavaFramedSerializer
extends Object
implements Channel_MessageSerializer

A Channel_MessageSerializer that delegates to standard Java object serialisation via the utility methods in Crypto_SerializationUtils.

This serializer does not provide per-step message schemas - every protocol object is serialised as an opaque blob using Java serialisation, exactly as the traditional unstyled channels do. It is intended for situations where a length-delimited wire format is desired without adopting a schema-based format like Protocol Buffers.

Because it uses the same Java serialisation as the existing channels, the wire content is identical; only the framing (a varint length prefix) differs.

Method Details

serialize

public byte[] serialize(Object message,
 int step)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Channel_MessageSerializer

Serializes a logical protocol message into a byte array.

Specified by:

serialize in interface Channel_MessageSerializer

Parameters:

message - the object to send; the concrete type depends on the protocol step (e.g., String, Crypto_SealedPair, Object[] for tuples)

step - the protocol step number (starting from 1), used to identify the message format

Returns:

the serialized bytes, ready to be written to the network

Throws:

IOException - if serialization fails

deserialize

public Object deserialize(byte[] data,
 int step)
                   throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException

Description copied from interface: Channel_MessageSerializer

Deserializes a byte array back into a logical protocol message object.

Specified by:

deserialize in interface Channel_MessageSerializer

Parameters:

data - the raw bytes received from the network

step - the expected protocol step number, used to identify the message format and recreate the appropriate object

Returns:

the reconstructed protocol object (e.g., String, Crypto_SealedPair, Object[])

Throws:

IOException - if deserialization fails

ClassNotFoundException - if a required class cannot be found (may occur when internal Java serialization is used inside cryptographic wrappers)
