使用Serializable接口进行JAVA的序列化和反序列化

OBJECT STREAMS – SERIALIZATION AND DESERIALIZATION IN JAVA EXAMPLE USING SERIALIZABLE INTERFACE

Hitesh Garg  |   November 7, 2014  |   io  |   9 Comments

In the previous java tutorials I have discussed about basic of java streams, byte streams, then a modified version of them character streams which were specially for character data, then data streams to solve the problem of reading and writing java primitives directly but Object Streams are used to save the state to an object by converting it into a stream and storing into a file, database or some other location(known as Serialization) and to use it at a later point of time for retrieving the stored values and restoring the objects old state( known as Deserialization).

序列化：基于对象流，将对象状态（实例变量）转换为流，并存储到文件、数据库或其他地方。

反序列化；将对象流还原，获取存储对象实例和对象状态。

This serialization and deserialization helps us in many scenarios like gaming, session state management etc.

序列化和反序列化的一些应用场景：游戏、Session状态管理等。

Have you ever wondered how a game starts from the same point where we have left it? Then this is your answer. All this is done by saving the current state of the object(or game) and reloading the state so that the player could continue from the old state only. Also the checkpoint system in games follow this method by permanently saving the progress up to that state for later use.

Serialization-deserialization in Java – Object Streams

MARKER INTERFACE（四大常用的标记接口）

An interface in Java without any field and method is a Marker interface. It is used to inform compiler that the class implementing it has some special behavior or meaning. Some of the Marker interfaces are-

• java.io.Serializable
• java.rmi.Remote
• java.util.RandomAccess
• java.lang.Cloneable

Although since Java 5 marker interfaces are replaced by annotations and they serve the same purpose as marker interfaces did before but for serializability we still use the interfaces and the transient keyword.

特别指出，标记接口中的RandomAccess的重要应用，可以参考【RandomAccess接口理解】https://blog.csdn.net/stick2it/article/details/53469910。该文章介绍了RandomAccess在Collections类的 public static int binarySearch(List> list, T key) 方法中应用。

INTERFACES

Every Object Stream class implements either of the two interfaces-

1. OBJECTINPUT – SUBINTERFACE OF DATAINPUT

2. OBJECTOUTPUT – SUBINTERFACE OF DATAOUTPUT

Note:- Since both the interfaces above are sub interface of interfaces Data streams interfaces, That means that all the primitive data I/O methods covered in Data Streams are also implemented in object streams.

CLASSES FOR OBJECT STREAMS

Two classes that are used for Object Streams are –

1. OBJECTINPUTSTREAM （用于反序列化）

   • This Java class is responsible for deserializing the previously serialized objects and the primitive data. 可反序列化之前已被序列化的对象、原始类型数据。
   • It reads the object from the graph of objects stored while using FileInputStream.
   • Method readObject() is the main method used to deserialize the object.The class of the object, the signature of the class, and the values of the non-transient and non-static fields of the class and all of its super types are read. 注意非transient和非static字段才可反序列化，另外可以读取对象、类以及超类信息。
   • • public final Object readObject() throws IOException,ClassNotFoundException

2. OBJECTOUTPUTSTREAM

   • This Java class is used to store primitives and a graph of Java object which are available to ObjectInputStream to read data from.
   • This does not care about saving the super class and sub class data but it could be achieved by using the writeObject method or by using the methods for primitive data types supported by DataOutput.
   • Method writeObject() is a main method of this Java class which serializes the object directly.
     • public final void writeObject(Object obj) throws IOException

---

TRANSIENT KEYWORD

There are scenarios in which we want to store only a part of the object i.e. we want to omit some specific fields from the stored object just like password field from any user class or an Employee or you can think of any other sensitive information.

In these cases we mark these fields as transient and this keyword protects the field from being saved during the process of serialization.

Example – transient private String password;

transient关键词用于屏蔽那些不想被序列化的字段。

SERIALIZATION AND DESERIALIZATION EXAMPLE

Now lets take an example and see how to do this using actual Java coding and have a look at some key points that should be remembered while using Serializable interface.

USER.JAVA

package com.codingeek.serialization;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class User implements Serializable {

    /**
     * Generated Serial version Id
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -55857686305273843L;

    private String name;
    private String username;
    transient private String password;

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String value = "name : " + name + "\nUserName : " + username
                + "\nPassword : " + password;
        return value;
    }

    /**
     * Setters and getters methods.
     */

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this .name = name;
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this .username = username;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this .password = password;
    }
}

• Make sure that the Java class you need to store must implement Serializable interface.
• Notice that password field in the above class is made transient because it is a sensitive information and we don’t want to store it or you can chose any other field.
• Also there is another field named serialVersionUID which is a Long variable and it should be defined for all the Java classes because if it is not and if in future we need to perform any changes in the class like variables, methods etc then we would never be able to deserialize an already serialized object.
  You can try it yourself by first serializing the object and then do some changes in your java class before deserializing it. You will get an error stating the change in SerialVersionUID which is generated automatically by the compiler.
• Java的序列化机制是通过判断类的serialVersionUID来验证版本一致性的。在进行反序列化时，JVM会把传来的字节流中的serialVersionUID与本地相应实体类的serialVersionUID进行比较，如果相同就认为是一致的，可以进行反序列化，否则就会出现序列化版本不一致的异常。参考资料【3】java类中serialversionuid 作用 是什么?举个例子说明 https://www.cnblogs.com/duanxz/p/3511695.html 中有详细说明，示意图如下：

SERIALIZATIONUTIL.JAVA

package com.codingeek.serialization;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;

/**
 * This class is a utility class for performing the serialization and
 * deserialization operations provided the required information.
 *
 * @author hiteshgarg
 */
public class SerializationUtil {

    /**
     * deserialize to Object from given file. We use the general Object so as
     * that it can work for any Java Class.
     */
    public static Object deserialize(String fileName) throws IOException,
            ClassNotFoundException {
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
        BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bis);
        Object obj = ois.readObject();
        ois.close();
        return obj;
    }

    /**
     * serialize the given object and save it to given file
     */
    public static void serialize(Object obj, String fileName)
            throws IOException {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
        BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
        oos.writeObject(obj);
        oos.close();
    }
}

In the above Java utility class we have used

• File Streams(For file related operations) which are wrapped in
• Buffered Streams(for Speeding up the operations) which are finally wrapped into
• Object Streams(for serialization and deserialization operations).

SERIALIZATIONTEST.JAVA

package com.codingeek.serialization;
import java.io.IOException;

public class SerializationTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        User user = new User();
        user.setName( "Hitesh" );
        user.setUsername( "Codingeek" );
        user.setPassword( "Garg" );

        try {
            /**
             *  Serializing the object
             */
            SerializationUtil.serialize(user, "serialization.txt" );

            /**
             * Deserializing the object
             */
            User newUser = (User) SerializationUtil.deserialize( "serialization.txt" );
            System.out.println(newUser.toString());

        } catch (IOException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Output:-
name : Hitesh
UserName : Codingeek
Password : null

Notice that the password value is null and it is because we have made it a transient field and hence it was not stored and at the time of deserialization a default value is assigned to this variable( which is obviously null).
