  - getPofContext
```
public PofContext getPofContext()
```
    Return the PofContext object used by this PofWriter to serialize user types to a POF stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPofContext in interface PofWriter
    
    Returns:
    
    the PofContext object that contains user type meta-data
  - setPofContext
```
public void setPofContext(PofContext ctx)
```
    Configure the PofContext object used by this PofWriter to serialize user types to a POF stream.
    Note: this is an advanced method that should be used with care. For example, if this method is being used to switch to another PofContext mid-POF stream, it is important to eventually restore the original PofContext. For example:
    PofContext ctxOrig = writer.getPofContext(); try { // switch to another PofContext PofContext ctxNew = ...; writer.setContext(ctxNew); // output POF data using the writer } finally { // restore the original PofContext writer.setPofContext(ctxOrig); }
    Specified by:
    
    setPofContext in interface PofWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    ctx - the new PofContext; must not be null
  - getUserTypeId
```
public int getUserTypeId()
```
    Determine the user type that is currently being written.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getUserTypeId in interface PofWriter
    
    Returns:
    
    the user type identifier, or -1 if the PofWriter is not currently writing a user type
  - getVersionId
```
public int getVersionId()
```
    Determine the version identifier of the user type that is currently being written.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getVersionId in interface PofWriter
    
    Returns:
    
    the integer version ID of the user type; always non-negative

```
public void setVersionId(int nVersionId)
```
    Set the version identifier of the user type that is currently being written.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setVersionId in interface PofWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    nVersionId - the user type identifier; must be non-negative

public PofWriter createNestedPofWriter(int iProp)
                                throws IOException
```
    Obtain a PofWriter that can be used to write a set of properties into a single property of the current user type. The returned PofWriter is only valid from the time that it is returned until the next call is made to this PofWriter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createNestedPofWriter in interface PofWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    iProp - the property index
    
    Returns:
    
    a PofWriter whose contents are nested into a single property of this PofWriter
    
    Throws:

                                throws IOException
```
    Obtain a PofWriter that can be used to write a set of properties into a single property of the current user type. The returned PofWriter is only valid from the time that it is returned until the next call is made to this PofWriter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createNestedPofWriter in interface PofWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    iProp - the property index
    
    nTypeId - the type identifier of the nested property
    
    Returns:
    
    a PofWriter whose contents are nested into a single property of this PofWriter
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs
  - writeRemainder
```
public void writeRemainder(Binary binProps)
                    throws IOException
```
    Write the remaining properties to the POF stream, terminating the writing of the current user type. As part of writing out a user type, this method must be called by the PofSerializer that is writing out the user type, or the POF stream will be corrupted.
    Calling this method terminates the current user type by writing a -1 to the POF stream after the last indexed property. Subsequent calls to the various writeXYZ methods of this interface will fail after this method is called.
    
    Specified by:
    
    writeRemainder in interface PofWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    binProps - a Binary object containing zero or more indexed properties in binary POF encoded form; may be null
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs
  - getParentWriter
```
protected PofBufferWriter getParentWriter()
```
    If this writer is contextually within a user type, obtain the writer which created this writer in order to write the user type.
    
    Returns:
    
    the containing writer
  - beginProperty
```
protected void beginProperty(int iProp)
                      throws IOException
```
    Report that a POF property is about to be written to the POF stream.
    This method call will be followed by one or more separate calls to a "write" method and the property extent will then be terminated by a call to endProperty(int).
    
    Parameters:
    
    iProp - the index of the property being written
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the property index is invalid, or is less than or equal to the index of the previous property written to the POF stream
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs
  - endProperty
```
protected void endProperty(int iProp)
```
    Signifies the termination of the current POF property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    iProp - the index of the current property

```
protected void onException(Exception e)
                    throws IOException
```
    Called when an unexpected exception is caught while writing to the POF stream.
    If the given exception wraps an IOException, the IOException is unwrapped and rethrown; otherwise the given exception is rethrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    e - the exception
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - the wrapped IOException, if the given exception is a wrapped IOException
  - fixNanos
```
protected static Date fixNanos(Date dt)

    Parameters:
    
    dt - the Date object to check
    
    Returns:
    
    the passed in Date if no conversion is necessary; otherwise the passed in Date as a Timestamp.
    
    Since:
    
    Coherence 3.7.1.13

    Parameters:
    
    dt - the Date object to extract the nanoseconds from
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of nanoseconds in the date
