Class MarshalledObject

public final class MarshalledObject extends Object implements Serializable

A MarshalledObject consists of a serialized object which is marshalled according to the RMI specification.

An object passed to the constructor is serialized and tagged with the needed URL to retrieve its class definition for remote usage. If the object is a remote reference its stub is serialized instead. The instance of this marshalled object can be later retrieved by its get() method.

Constructor Summary
	MarshalledObject(Object obj) Constructs a `MarshalledObject` from the given object.

Method Summary
boolean	equals(Object obj) Checks if the given object is equal to this marshalled object.
Object	get() Constructs and returns a copy of the internal serialized object.

Parameters: obj the object to compare.

Returns: true if equal, false otherwise.

get

public Object get()

Returns: The deserialized object.

Throws: IOException if an I/O exception occurs during deserialization. ClassNotFoundException if the class of the deserialized object cannot be found.
