                               Object oldValue)
        Description copied from interface: SCO
        Method to initialise the SCO for use, where replacing an old value with a new value such as when calling a setter field passing in a new value. Note that oldValue is marked as Object since for cases where the member type is Collection the newValue could be, for example, ArrayList, and the oldValue of type Collection (representing null).

      • writeReplace

        protected Object writeReplace()
                               throws ObjectStreamException
        The writeReplace method is called when ObjectOutputStream is preparing to write the object to the stream. The ObjectOutputStream checks whether the class defines the writeReplace method. If the method is defined, the writeReplace method is called to allow the object to designate its replacement in the stream. The object returned should be either of the same type as the object passed in or an object that when read and resolved will result in an object of a type that is compatible with all references to the object.
        Returns:
        the replaced object
        Throws:
        ObjectStreamException - if an error occurs
