All Implemented Interfaces:
  EntityBinding

public class TupleSerialMarshalledBinding
extends TupleSerialBinding

A concrete entity binding that uses the `MarshalledTupleKeyEntity` interface. It works by calling the methods of the `MarshalledTupleKeyEntity` interface, which must be implemented by the entity class, to convert between the key/value data and entity object.

The binding is "tricky" in that it uses the entity class for both the stored data value and the combined entity object. To do this, the entity's key field(s) are transient and are set by the binding after the data object has been deserialized. This avoids the use of a "value" class completely.

  Specified by:
    `dataToObject` in class `TupleSerialBinding`
  Parameters:
    `tupleInput` - is the `TupleInput` key data object.
    `javaInput` - is the deserialized value data object.
  Returns:
    the entity object constructed from the key and value.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if data cannot be read or written.

### objectToKey

    public void objectToKey(Object object,
                            TupleOutput output)

  Parameters:
    `object` - is the entity object.
    `output` - is the `TupleOutput` to which the key should be written.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if data cannot be read or written.

### objectToValue

    public Object objectToValue(Object object)
                         throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TupleSerialBinding`
  Extracts a value object from an entity object.

  Specified by:
    `objectToValue` in class `TupleSerialBinding`
  Parameters:
    `object` - is the entity object.
  Returns:
    the deserialized value data object.
  Throws:
