Class ObjectCollectionSerializer

java.lang.Object
  org.rhq.test.ObjectCollectionSerializer

public class ObjectCollectionSerializer
extends Object

This class produces a JAXB serialized collection of objects and can convert such serialized data back to a list of objects.

The objects passed to this class must therefore be JAXB serializable.

This class is intended to be used in tests that need to persist the state of some object collection.

This deserializes given input stream into a list of objects.

This method uses the current thread's context classloader to resolve the classes of the objects to be deserialized if such classloader is set.

Parameters:

inputStream - the input stream to read the data from

Returns:

the list of deserialized objects

Throws:

XMLStreamException

ClassNotFoundException

JAXBException

IOException
