I use code similar to the following to provide a uniform interface to
streaming objects. (I am away from my java-desk so am coding from the
hip....) It does not have the chaining interface of C++, but I do think it
is as readable.

interface Streamable {
public void read( InputStream in );
public void write( OutputStream out );
}
class string extends String implements Streamable {
public void read( InputStream in ) {
... // someone else writes this or you use DataInputStream
}
public void write( OutputStream out ) {
...
}
}
class User implements Streamable {
string name_;
string id_;
public void read( InputStream in ) {
name_ = (new string())( in ); // not sure about the syntax here
id_ = (new string())( in );
...
}
public void write( OutputStream out ) {
name_.write( out );
id_.write( out );
...
}
}
... {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream( "/usr/..." );
User user = (new User())( in );
}
