BBjAPI::cloneAsServerObject

Description

In BBj 8.00 and higher, this method creates a clone of a client-side object on the server.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
Object	cloneAsServerObject(ClientObjectclientObj)

Parameters

Variable	Description
clientObj	A ClientObject which is the RMI handle for the client-side Object that is to be cloned on the server.

Return Value

A Object on the server that is a clone of the client-side Object for which clientObj is an RMI handle.

Remarks

The client-side Object for which clientObj is an RMI handle must be serializable. The client-side Object is serialized through an ObjectOutputStream and the resulting bytes are transported to the server where they are used to create an ObjectInputStream on the server. A new Object is read from the ObjectInputStream. This Object is the return value of the method

An error is thrown if the client-side Object is not serializable.
