<P>
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>

<DD>Return the class ID for the current version of the given class

This is used for storing in serialization streams in place of a full

This function causes a new class ID to be assigned if the class
