Method Detail

writeObject

void writeObject(Object object)
                 throws IOException

A convenient entry point for writing out any Object for conversion to ActionScript. The Java class type of the Object will determine the corresponding ActionScript type that will be specified in the AMF stream.

The following is a guide to the Java to ActionScript type mappings:

Java Type	ActionScript Type (AMF 0)	ActionScript Type (AMF 3 / AMFX)
java.lang.String	String	String
java.lang.Boolean	Boolean	Boolean
java.lang.Integer java.lang.Short java.lang.Byte	Number	int(a)
java.lang.Double java.lang.Long java.lang.Float	Number	Number
java.util.Calendar java.util.Date	Date(b)	Date(b)
java.lang.Character java.lang.Character[]	String	String
java.lang.Byte[]	Array (of Numbers)	ByteArray
java.util.Collection	mx.collections.ArrayCollection(c)	mx.collections.ArrayCollection(c)
java.lang.Object[] (Native Array)	Array	Array
java.util.Map java.util.Dictionary	Object(d)	Object(d)
java.lang.Object (Other than the above)	Typed Object(e)	Typed Object(e)
null	null	null

(a) - For AMF 3 ints, taking sign into consideration, if i < 0xF0000000 || i > 0x0FFFFFFF then value is promoted to Number
(b) - Dates are sent in the UTC timezone. Clients and servers must adjust time accordingly for timezones.
(c) - Channel serialization configuration can be set to support legacy Collection to ActionScript Array conversion
(d) - Channel serialization configuration can be set to support legacy Map to ActionScript Array (associative) conversion
(e) - Objects are serialized using Java Bean introspection rules. Fields that are static, transient or non-public are excluded.

Specified by:
