| protected void | DefaultPersistenceDelegate. initialize(Class<?> type,
          Object oldInstance,
          Object newInstance,
          Encoder out) | This default implementation of the initializemethod assumes
 all state held in objects of this type is exposed via the
 matching pairs of "setter" and "getter" methods in the order
 they are returned by the Introspector. | 
| protected void | PersistenceDelegate. initialize(Class<?> type,
          Object oldInstance,
          Object newInstance,
          Encoder out) | Produce a series of statements with side effects on newInstanceso that the new instance becomes equivalent tooldInstance. | 
| protected Expression | DefaultPersistenceDelegate. instantiate(Object oldInstance,
           Encoder out) | This default implementation of the instantiatemethod returns
 an expression containing the predefined method name "new" which denotes a
 call to a constructor with the arguments as specified in
 theDefaultPersistenceDelegate's constructor. | 
| protected abstract Expression | PersistenceDelegate. instantiate(Object oldInstance,
           Encoder out) | Returns an expression whose value is oldInstance. | 
| void | PersistenceDelegate. writeObject(Object oldInstance,
           Encoder out) | The writeObjectis a single entry point to the persistence
 and is used by anEncoderin the traditional
 mode of delegation. |
