Parameters:

classLoader - the ClassLoader from which classes should be loaded

inputStream - the InputStream to work on

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error

StreamCorruptedException - if the stream is corrupted

Method Detail

resolveClass

protected Class resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass objectStreamClass)
                      throws IOException,
                             ClassNotFoundException

Resolve a class specified by the descriptor using the specified ClassLoader or the super ClassLoader.

Overrides:

resolveClass in class ObjectInputStream

Parameters:

objectStreamClass - descriptor of the class

Returns:

the Class object described by the ObjectStreamClass

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error
