service ObjectOutputStream
  Description is a stream which allows writing the data of persistent objects. Implementations of this service must fulfill the specifications of the DataOutputStream service; futhermore, the stream needs to be chained to a XMarkableStream . Therefore, it also provides the XMarkableStream interface, but it delegates the calls to the chained object. The written objects are held until this instance is destroyed. The references to the objects are written as four-byte integers and begin at 1. Data format is written:
       short InfoLength
       long ObjectReference // 0 indicates no object
       UTF ServiceName // length of 0 indicates this is only a reference
       long ObjectLength // 0 if it is a reference or no object, otherwise the len of the object data
       Object ObjectData // the data of the object
@garantees -thread safe -allow buffer size is 2 ^ 31 -1 -maximum object reference identifier is the number of objects. -object reference identifier 0 indicates no object

Exported Interfaces
XObjectOutputStream | Description allows to write the data to the stream.
XActiveDataSource | Description allows to set the underlying outputstream
