/**
 * An ObjectOutputStream writes primitive data types and graphs of Java objects
 * to an OutputStream.  The objects can be read (reconstituted) using an
 * ObjectInputStream.  Persistent storage of objects can be accomplished by
 * using a file for the stream.  If the stream is a network socket stream, the
 * objects can be reconstituted on another host or in another process.
 *
 * <p>Only objects that support the java.io.Serializable interface can be
 * written to streams.  The class of each serializable object is encoded
 * including the class name and signature of the class, the values of the
 * object's fields and arrays, and the closure of any other objects referenced
 * from the initial objects.
 *
 * <p>The method writeObject is used to write an object to the stream.  Any
 * object, including Strings and arrays, is written with writeObject. Multiple
 * objects or primitives can be written to the stream.  The objects must be
 * read back from the corresponding ObjectInputstream with the same types and
 * in the same order as they were written.
 *
 * <p>Primitive data types can also be written to the stream using the
 * appropriate methods from DataOutput. Strings can also be written using the
 * writeUTF method.
 *
 * <p>The default serialization mechanism for an object writes the class of the
 * object, the class signature, and the values of all non-transient and
 * non-static fields.  References to other objects (except in transient or
 * static fields) cause those objects to be written also. Multiple references
 * to a single object are encoded using a reference sharing mechanism so that
 * graphs of objects can be restored to the same shape as when the original was
 * written.
 *
 * <p>For example to write an object that can be read by the example in
 * ObjectInputStream:
 * <br>
 * <pre>
 *      FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("t.tmp");
 *      ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
 *
 *      oos.writeInt(12345);
 *      oos.writeObject("Today");
 *      oos.writeObject(new Date());
 *
 *      oos.close();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Classes that require special handling during the serialization and
 * deserialization process must implement special methods with these exact
 * signatures:
 * <br>
 * <pre>
 * private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream stream)
 *     throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;
 * private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream stream)
 *     throws IOException
 * private void readObjectNoData()
 *     throws ObjectStreamException;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>The writeObject method is responsible for writing the state of the object
 * for its particular class so that the corresponding readObject method can
 * restore it.  The method does not need to concern itself with the state
 * belonging to the object's superclasses or subclasses.  State is saved by
 * writing the individual fields to the ObjectOutputStream using the
 * writeObject method or by using the methods for primitive data types
 * supported by DataOutput.
 *
 * <p>Serialization does not write out the fields of any object that does not
 * implement the java.io.Serializable interface.  Subclasses of Objects that
 * are not serializable can be serializable. In this case the non-serializable
 * class must have a no-arg constructor to allow its fields to be initialized.
 * In this case it is the responsibility of the subclass to save and restore
 * the state of the non-serializable class. It is frequently the case that the
 * fields of that class are accessible (public, package, or protected) or that
 * there are get and set methods that can be used to restore the state.
 *
 * <p>Serialization of an object can be prevented by implementing writeObject
 * and readObject methods that throw the NotSerializableException.  The
 * exception will be caught by the ObjectOutputStream and abort the
 * serialization process.
 *
 * <p>Implementing the Externalizable interface allows the object to assume
 * complete control over the contents and format of the object's serialized
 * form.  The methods of the Externalizable interface, writeExternal and
 * readExternal, are called to save and restore the objects state.  When
 * implemented by a class they can write and read their own state using all of
 * the methods of ObjectOutput and ObjectInput.  It is the responsibility of
 * the objects to handle any versioning that occurs.
 *
 * <p>Enum constants are serialized differently than ordinary serializable or
 * externalizable objects.  The serialized form of an enum constant consists
 * solely of its name; field values of the constant are not transmitted.  To
 * serialize an enum constant, ObjectOutputStream writes the string returned by
 * the constant's name method.  Like other serializable or externalizable
 * objects, enum constants can function as the targets of back references
 * appearing subsequently in the serialization stream.  The process by which
 * enum constants are serialized cannot be customized; any class-specific
 * writeObject and writeReplace methods defined by enum types are ignored
 * during serialization.  Similarly, any serialPersistentFields or
 * serialVersionUID field declarations are also ignored--all enum types have a
 * fixed serialVersionUID of 0L.
 *
 * <p>Primitive data, excluding serializable fields and externalizable data, is
 * written to the ObjectOutputStream in block-data records. A block data record
 * is composed of a header and data. The block data header consists of a marker
 * and the number of bytes to follow the header.  Consecutive primitive data
 * writes are merged into one block-data record.  The blocking factor used for
 * a block-data record will be 1024 bytes.  Each block-data record will be
 * filled up to 1024 bytes, or be written whenever there is a termination of
 * block-data mode.  Calls to the ObjectOutputStream methods writeObject,
 * defaultWriteObject and writeFields initially terminate any existing
 * block-data record.
