/**
   An <code>ObjectOutputStream</code> can be used to write objects
   as well as primitive data in a platform-independent manner to an
   <code>OutputStream</code>.

   The data produced by an <code>ObjectOutputStream</code> can be read
   and reconstituted by an <code>ObjectInputStream</code>.

   <code>writeObject (Object)</code> is used to write Objects, the
   <code>write&lt;type&gt;</code> methods are used to write primitive
   data (as in <code>DataOutputStream</code>). Strings can be written
   as objects or as primitive data.

   Not all objects can be written out using an
   <code>ObjectOutputStream</code>.  Only those objects that are an
   instance of <code>java.io.Serializable</code> can be written.

   Using default serialization, information about the class of an
   object is written, all of the non-transient, non-static fields of
   the object are written, if any of these fields are objects, they are
   written out in the same manner.

   An object is only written out the first time it is encountered.  If
   the object is encountered later, a reference to it is written to
   the underlying stream.  Thus writing circular object graphs
   does not present a problem, nor are relationships between objects
   in a graph lost.

   Example usage:
   <pre>
   Hashtable map = new Hashtable ();
   map.put ("one", new Integer (1));
   map.put ("two", new Integer (2));

   ObjectOutputStream oos =
   new ObjectOutputStream (new FileOutputStream ("numbers"));
   oos.writeObject (map);
   oos.close ();

   ObjectInputStream ois =
   new ObjectInputStream (new FileInputStream ("numbers"));
   Hashtable newmap = (Hashtable)ois.readObject ();

   System.out.println (newmap);
   </pre>

   The default serialization can be overriden in two ways.

   By defining a method <code>private void
   writeObject (ObjectOutputStream)</code>, a class can dictate exactly
   how information about itself is written.
   <code>defaultWriteObject ()</code> may be called from this method to
   carry out default serialization.  This method is not
   responsible for dealing with fields of super-classes or subclasses.

   By implementing <code>java.io.Externalizable</code>.  This gives
   the class complete control over the way it is written to the
   stream.  If this approach is used the burden of writing superclass
   and subclass data is transfered to the class implementing
   <code>java.io.Externalizable</code>.
