Re: RMI return data (method call) message format

Alex

Frankly I don't think you've made much of an effort here. It is all in the
RMI Specification or the Object Serialization Specification. 0x51 is the
beginning of the ReturnData. 0xaced is the serialization stream header
ObjectStreamConstants.STREAM_MAGIC. 0x0005 is
ObjectStreamConstants.STREAM_HEADER. 0x77 is
ObjectStreamConstants.TC_BLOCKDATA, followed by an unsigned size byte
followed by that many bytes, consisting of followed by TC_ENDBLOCKDATA=0x78,
which you haven't posted. The content of this block data is the 0x1 for
success, followed by the UniqueIdentifer value. After the TC_ENDBLOCKDATA I
would then expect to see the serialized form of the return value if any.

And if I can get all that from the respective specifications in five minutes
flat there can't be too much wrong with them.
