method

in

net.jini.io.MarshalOutputStream

/**
 * Annotates the stream descriptor for the class <code>cl</code>.

 * <p><code>MarshalOutputStream</code> implements this method as follows:
 *
 * <p>This method invokes {@link RMIClassLoader#getClassAnnotation
 * RMIClassLoader.getClassAnnotation} with <code>cl</code> to get the appropriate class
 * annotation string value (possibly <code>null</code>), and then it invokes this stream's
 * {@link #writeAnnotation writeAnnotation} method with that string to record the annotation.
 *
 * @param cl the class to annotate
 * @throws IOException          if <code>writeAnnotation</code> throws an <code>IOException</code>
 * @throws NullPointerException if <code>cl</code> is <code>null</code>
