All Superinterfaces:

Context, WriteBuffer

All Known Implementing Classes:

MarshallingContext
```
public interface WriteContext
extends Context, WriteBuffer
```
this interface is passed to internal class TypeHandler4 during marshaling and provides methods to marshal objects.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`ReservedBuffer`	`reserve(int length)`	reserves a buffer with a specific length at the current position, to be written in a later step.
`void`	`writeObject(TypeHandler4 handler, java.lang.Object obj)`	writes sub-objects, in cases where the `TypeHandler4` is known.
`void`	`writeObject(java.lang.Object obj)`	makes sure the object is stored and writes the ID of the object to the context.

- Method Detail
  - writeObject
```
void writeObject(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    makes sure the object is stored and writes the ID of the object to the context. Use this method for first class objects only (objects that have an identity in the database). If the object can potentially be a primitive type, do not use this method but use a matching WriteBuffer method instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to write.
  - writeObject
```
void writeObject(TypeHandler4 handler,
                 java.lang.Object obj)
```
    writes sub-objects, in cases where the TypeHandler4 is known.
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - typehandler to be used to write the object.
    
    obj - the object to write
  - reserve
```
ReservedBuffer reserve(int length)
```
    reserves a buffer with a specific length at the current position, to be written in a later step.
    
    Parameters:
    
    length - the length to be reserved.
    
    Returns:
    
    the ReservedBuffer
