Re: RMI Marshalling

Well, I have some data I send from a client to a server. RMI serializes
these. Once they get over to the server, the server just serializes some
of them again to a database.  Seems wasteful to deserialize on the
server since I never use the deserialized object form of the data before
I just write them again to the database.

Also, I have various dictionaries that map things like classes and
strings to integers. I've written my own custom ObjectInput and
ObjectOutput streams that overwrite stuff like read/writeObject,
read/writeClassDescriptor, resolveClass, etc to take advantage of these
dictionaries. Since they work pretty well, I would also like to use them
for marshalling data between clients and servers. But to do that, I
would have to be able to replace the default ObjectInput and
ObjectOutput streams that RMI uses for marshalling.

With J2SE RMI (JRMP), not really.  What are you trying to accomplish?
