Class ObjectWriter<T>

java.lang.Object
csv.util.ObjectWriter<T>
public class ObjectWriter<T> extends Object
Writes Objects into a table.

This class is different to BeanWriter as it asks a converter to convert the object to a row first.

 // Create an instance of your table writer 
 TableWriter tableWriter = ...; 
 
 // Get an instance of your object converter
 ObjectConverter<MyClass> converter = new MyClassConverter();
 
 // Get an instance of your table header provider (if you need it)
 TableHeaderProvider headerProvider = new MyTableHeaderProvider();
 
 // Now write to the table stream
 ObjectWriter<MyClass> writer = new ObjectWriter(tableWriter, converter, headerProvider);
 writer.write(object1);
 writer.write(object2);
 writer.write(new MyClass[] { object1, object2, object 3 });
 
 // Close the writer
 writer.close();
