java.io.File patch

[Jeroen Frijters]

Hi,

Attached is a patch for object serialization, to use the proper classes
when getting and setting fields in the object (and when calling
readObject/writeObject). Also some minor changes to make caching the
Field and Method objects possible in the future.

I submitted the patch to Savannah as 1107.

Thanks to Mark Wielaard for his assistance.

Change log:
2003-02-13  Jeroen Frijters  <address@hidden>

        * java/io/ObjectInputStream.java
        (readObject): cleaned up the class hierarchy loop
        (readFields(Object,ObjectStreamField[],boolean)):
        changed argument list to Object,ObjectStreamClass,
        moved callReadMethod code up into readObject and
        added Class argument to all setXxxField calls
        (callReadMethod): changed Class argument to
        ObjectStreamClass to be consistent with
        ObjectOutputStream and to facilitate caching
        the Method in the future
        (setBooleanField): added Class argument
        (setByteField): added Class argument
        (setCharField): added Class argument
        (setDoubleField): added Class argument
        (setFloatField): added Class argument
        (setIntField): added Class argument
        (setLongField): added Class argument
        (setShortField): added Class argument
        (setObjectField): added Class argument
        * java/io/ObjectOutputStream.java
        (writeObject): cleaned up the class hierarchy loop
        (defaultWriteObject): call writeFields with new
        argument list
        (writeFields(Object,ObjectStreamField[],boolean):
        changed argument list to Object,ObjectStreamClass,
        moved callWriteMethod up into writeObject and
        added Class argument to all getXxxField calls
        (callWriteMethod): added ObjectStreamClass argument
        to be able to get the proper class to call getMethod
        on (each class can have (or not have) its own writeObject
        method)
        (getBooleanField): added Class argument
        (getByteField): added Class argument
        (getCharField): added Class argument
        (getDoubleField): added Class argument
        (getFloatField): added Class argument
        (getIntField): added Class argument
        (getLongField): added Class argument
        (getShortField): added Class argument
        (getObjectField): added Class argument
        * java/io/ObjectStreamClass.java
        (hasReadMethod): added method to facilitate caching
        the Method object in the future

Regards,
Jeroen
