    • initialise

      public void initialise(Properties newValue, 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.

    • 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.
      Overrides:
      writeReplace in class Properties
      Returns:
      the replaced object
      Throws:
      ObjectStreamException - if an error occurs
