High level abstract serialization interface.. High level abstract serialization interface.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	getObject(java.lang.String key) Create the object with `key' using the Archiver's own Zone
java.lang.Object	getWithZone$key(Zone aZone, java.lang.String key) Create the object with `key' in the specified Zone
void	putDeep$object(java.lang.String key, java.lang.Object object) Register with the Archiver a deep serialization of the object (serialization only occurs when Archiver is saved)
void	putShallow$object(java.lang.String key, java.lang.Object object) As per -putDeep, but only make a shallow version
void	registerClient(java.lang.Object client)
void	sync() Ensure that that all registered the requested backend
