    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.
