    public class SerialInput

extends ClassResolver.Stream

A specialized `ObjectInputStream` that gets class description information from a `ClassCatalog`. It is used by `SerialBinding`.

This class is used instead of an `ObjectInputStream`, which it extends, to read an object stream written by the `SerialOutput` class. For reading objects from a database normally one of the serial binding classes is used. `SerialInput` is used when an `ObjectInputStream` is needed along with compact storage. A `ClassCatalog` must be supplied, however, to stored shared class descriptions.

### SerialInput

    public SerialInput(InputStream in,
                       ClassCatalog classCatalog)
                throws IOException

  Creates a serial input stream.

  Parameters:
    `in` - is the input stream from which compact serialized objects will be read.
    `classCatalog` - is the catalog containing the class descriptions for the serialized objects.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### SerialInput

    public SerialInput(InputStream in,
                       ClassCatalog classCatalog,

                throws IOException

  Creates a serial input stream.

  Parameters:
    `in` - is the input stream from which compact serialized objects will be read.
    `classCatalog` - is the catalog containing the class descriptions for the serialized objects.
    `classLoader` - is the class loader to use, or null if a default class loader should be used.
  Throws:
    `IOException`
