JAV2I12 — Custom marshalling wire format

Summary: The full wire format produced by ObjectOutputStream really needs
to be specified. E.g., I would assume that anything written with
writeObject gets marshalled as an Any. In normal Java
serialization, consecutive primitive writes (writeByte, writeInt,
etc.) are aggregated into chunks with size lengths, and tagged
to distinguish it from other data. In this way, ObjectInputStream
can ensure that major stream corruption never occurs: it can
make sure that a primitive read never eats into object data,
and vice versa. Is a similar format used for IIOP?
