<div class="block">A catalog of class description information for use during object
serialization.
<p>A catalog is used to store class descriptions separately from serialized
objects, to avoid redundantly stored information with each object.
When serialized objects are stored in a database, a <a href="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/StoredClassCatalog.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><code>StoredClassCatalog</code></a> should be used.</p>
<p>This information is used for serialization of class descriptors or
java.io.ObjectStreamClass objects, each of which represents a unique class
format. For each unique format, a unique class ID is assigned by the
catalog. The class ID can then be used in the serialization stream in place
of the full class information. When used with <a href="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialInput.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><code>SerialInput</code></a> and
<a href="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialOutput.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><code>SerialOutput</code></a> or any of the serial bindings, the use of the catalog
is transparent to the application.</p></div>
