Class ExternalizableUtil

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.util.cache.ExternalizableUtil

public class ExternalizableUtil
extends Object

Utility methods to assist in working with the Externalizable interfaces. This class is only used when running inside of a Cluser. When using the open source version this class will use a dummy implementation. Anyway, this class is not used when not using the Enterprise edition.

ExternalizableLite is very similar to the standard Externalizable interface, except that it uses DataOutput/DataInput instead of the Object stream equivalents.
