Method Detail

serializeToBytes

public static byte[] serializeToBytes(Serializable object)
                               throws IOException

Takes serializable object and serializes it to the byte array

Parameters:

object - object to serialize

Returns:

the byte array representing serializable object

Throws:

InvalidClassException - Something is wrong with a class used by serialization.

NotSerializableException - Some object to be serialized does not implement the java.io.Serializable interface.

IOException - Any exception thrown by the underlying OutputStream.

deserializeFromBytes

public static <T extends Serializable> T deserializeFromBytes(Class<T> classType,
                                                              byte[] serializedObject)
                                                       throws IOException,
                                                              ClassNotFoundException

Takes byte array representing serialized object and constructs its object form

Parameters:

classType - Type of the returned object

serializedObject - byte array representing serialized object

Returns:

deserialized object

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - Class of a serialized object cannot be found.

InvalidClassException - Something is wrong with a class used by serialization.

StreamCorruptedException - Control information in the stream is inconsistent.

OptionalDataException - Primitive data was found in the stream instead of objects.

IOException - Any of the usual Input/Output related exceptions.
