Well idea is not to change the original application which uses
already some byte serialization in a fundamental way. But only
to replace the temporary files by memory streams.

Of course one could opt for a total rewrite of the original
application, but then there is no guarantee that a non-byte
serialization gives a better design.

Also we cannot deduce from the requirement of an byte input /
output stream that the application deals with binary data. It
could be also that on top of the byte input / output stream
character reader / writer are created.

So that basically the application deals with character streams,
and maybe with something like documents or some such. It might
be that ArrayLists come into play when working with documents,
but only peripherically, for example JTextPane & Co.. there is
an array of elements involved which represent paragraphs.

But when you strip all the styles from JTextPane & Co you
get to the characters of the paragraphs. And XML / HTML shows
you for example how you can serialize characters and styles
into character streams.

Now again one could opt for working with a DOM instead of working
with streams. But in XML both options are viable and not alien
to Java. Sometimes stream based approaches are even more efficient
than DOM based approaches.

So be it as it is, the requiremets stands at it is, there is
the request for memory streams, despite possible alternative
designs. Just assume that among the variant designs, we currently
focus on memory streams and not something else.
