      • encode

        byte[] encode​(IMsgHeader header,
              IInternalAccess component,
              java.lang.Object obj)
        Encodes/serializes an object for a particular receiver.
        Parameters:
        receiver - The receiver.
        cl - The classloader used for encoding.
        obj - Object to be encoded.
        Returns:
        Encoded object.

      • decode

        java.lang.Object decode​(IMsgHeader header,
                        IInternalAccess component,
                        byte[] enc)
        Decodes/deserializes an object.
        Parameters:
        cl - The component used for decoding.
        enc - Encoded object.
        Returns:
        Object to be encoded.

      • isRemoteObject

        boolean isRemoteObject​(java.lang.Object target)
        Test if an object is a remote object.

      • isLocalReference

        boolean isLocalReference​(java.lang.Object object)

      • getStringConverters

        java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​jadex.commons.transformation.IStringConverter> getStringConverters()
        Get the string converters (can convert to and from string, possibly only for some types).
        Returns:
        The converters by name (constants in IStringConverter).
