A specialized <code>ObjectOutputStream</code> that stores class description
information in a <code>ClassCatalog</code>. It is used by
<code>SerialBinding</code>.
<p>This class is used instead of an <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/ObjectOutputStream.html" title="class or interface in java.io"><CODE>ObjectOutputStream</CODE></A>, which it
extends, to write a compact object stream. For writing objects to a
database normally one of the serial binding classes is used. <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialOutput.html" title="class in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>SerialOutput</CODE></A> is used when an <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/ObjectOutputStream.html" title="class or interface in java.io"><CODE>ObjectOutputStream</CODE></A> is needed along
with compact storage. A <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/ClassCatalog.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>ClassCatalog</CODE></A> must be supplied, however, to
stored shared class descriptions.</p>
<p>The <A HREF="../../../../com/sleepycat/bind/serial/ClassCatalog.html" title="interface in com.sleepycat.bind.serial"><CODE>ClassCatalog</CODE></A> is used to store class definitions rather than
embedding these into the stream. Instead, a class format identifier is
