class A implements Externalizable {
public A() {
System.out.println("A Constructor");
}
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
System.out.println("A.writeExternal");
}
public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
System.out.println("A.readExternal");
}
}
class B implements Externalizable {
B() {
System.out.println("B Constructor");
}
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
System.out.println("B.writeExternal");
}
public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
System.out.println("B.readExternal");
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
A b1 = new A();
B b2 = new B();
ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("File.out"));
o.writeObject(b1);
o.writeObject(b2);
o.close();
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("File.out"));
b1 = (A) in.readObject();
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
