    The document discusses Java serialization and deserialization. It provides examples of: 1) Serializing an object to a file by writing the object's state using ObjectOutputStream. 2) Deserializing an object by reading the object's state from a file using ObjectInputStream. 3) How serialization works with inheritance, aggregation, static fields, and collections. It also discusses the Externalizable interface as an alternative to Serializable.

    Required methods of Method class

    1) public void setAccessible(boolean status) throws SecurityException sets the


    accessibility of the method.

    2) public Object invoke(Object method, Object... args) throws


    IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException is
    used to invoke the method.

    Required method of Class class


    1) public Method getDeclaredMethod(String name,Class[] parameterTypes)throws
    NoSuchMethodException,SecurityException: returns a Method object that reflects the
    specified declared method of the class or interface represented by this Class object.

    Example of calling private method from another class


    Let's see the simple example to call private method from another class.

    File: A.java
    1 public class A {
    2 private void message(){System.out.println("hello java"); }
    3 }
    File: MethodCall.java
    1 import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    2 public class MethodCall{
    3 public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{
    4
    5 Class c = Class.forName("A");
    6 Object o= c.newInstance();
    7 Method m =c.getDeclaredMethod("message", null);
    8 m.setAccessible(true);
    9 m.invoke(o, null);
    10 }
    11 }
    Output:hello java

    Another example to call parameterized private method


    from another class
    Let's see the example to call parameterized private method from another class

    File: A.java
    1 class A{
    2 private void cube(int n){System.out.println(n*n*n);}
    3 }
    File: M.java
    1 import java.lang.reflect.*;
    2 class M{
    3 public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    4 Class c=A.class;
    5 Object obj=c.newInstance();
    6
    7 Method m=c.getDeclaredMethod("cube",new Class[]{int.class});
    8 m.setAccessible(true);
    9 m.invoke(obj,4);
    10 }}
    Output:64

    8 Serialization and static datamember

    Serialization in java is a mechanism of writing the state of an object into a byte


    stream.

    It is mainly used in Hibernate, RMI, JPA, EJB, JMS technologies.

    The reverse operation of serialization is called deserialization.

    The String class and all the wrapper classes implementsjava.io.Serializable interface by
    default.

    Advantage of Java Serialization


    It is mainly used to travel object's state on the network (known as marshaling).

    java.io.Serializable interface
    Serializable is a marker interface (has no body). It is just used to "mark" java classes
    which support a certain capability.

    It must be implemented by the class whose object you want to persist. Let's see the
    example given below:

    1 import java.io.Serializable;
    2 public class Student implements Serializable{
    3 int id;
    4 String name;
    5 public Student(int id, String name) {
    6 this.id = id;
    7 this.name = name;
    8 }
    9 }

    ObjectOutputStream class
    The ObjectOutputStream class is used to write primitive data types and Java objects to
    an OutputStream. Only objects that support the java.io.Serializable interface can be
    written to streams.

    Constructor

    1) public ObjectOutputStream(OutputStream out) throws IOException {}creates an ObjectOutputStre


    writes to the specified OutputStream.

    Important Methods
    Method Description

    1) public final void writeObject(Object obj) throws writes the specified object to the
    IOException {} ObjectOutputStream.

    2) public void flush() throws IOException {} flushes the current output stream.

    3) public void close() throws IOException {} closes the current output stream.

    Example of Java Serialization


    In this example, we are going to serialize the object of Student class. The writeObject()
    method of ObjectOutputStream class provides the functionality to serialize the object.
    We are saving the state of the object in the file named f.txt.

    1 import java.io.*;
    2 class Persist{
    3 public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    4 Student s1 =new Student(211,"ravi");
    5
    6 FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("f.txt");
    7 ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(fout);
    8
    9 out.writeObject(s1);
    10 out.flush();
    11 System.out.println("success");
    12 }
    13 }
    success

    Deserialization in java
    Deserialization is the process of reconstructing the object from the serialized state.It is
    the reverse operation of serialization.

    ObjectInputStream class
    An ObjectInputStream deserializes objects and primitive data written using an
    ObjectOutputStream.

    Constructor

    1) public ObjectInputStream(InputStream in) throws creates an ObjectInputStream that re


    IOException {} the specified InputStream.

    Important Methods
    Method Description

    1) public final Object readObject() throws IOException, reads an object from th


    ClassNotFoundException{} stream.

    2) public void close() throws IOException {} closes ObjectInputStrea

    Example of Java Deserialization


    1 import java.io.*;
    2 class Depersist{
    3 public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    4
    5 ObjectInputStream in=new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("f.txt"));
    6 Student s=(Student)in.readObject();
    7 System.out.println(s.id+" "+s.name);
    8
    9 in.close();
    10 }
    11 }

    Java Serialization with Inheritance (IS-A


    Relationship)
    If a class implements serializable then all its sub classes will also be serializable. Let's
    see the example given below:

    1 import java.io.Serializable;
    2 class Person implements Serializable{
    3 int id;
    4 String name;
    5 Person(int id, String name) {
    6 this.id = id;
    7 this.name = name;
    8 }
    9 }
    1 class Student extends Person{
    2 String course;
    3 int fee;
    4 public Student(int id, String name, String course, int fee) {
    5 super(id,name);
    6 this.course=course;
    7 this.fee=fee;
    8 }
    9 }
    Now you can serialize the Student class object that extends the Person class which is
    Serializable.Parent class properties are inherited to subclasses so if parent class is
    Serializable, subclass would also be.

    Java Serialization with Aggregation (HAS-A


    Relationship)
    If a class has a reference of another class, all the references must be Serializable
    otherwise serialization process will not be performed. In such
    case, NotSerializableException is thrown at runtime.

    1 class Address{
    2 String addressLine,city,state;
    3 public Address(String addressLine, String city, String state) {
    4 this.addressLine=addressLine;
    5 this.city=city;
    6 this.state=state;
    7 }
    8 }
    1 import java.io.Serializable;
    2 public class Student implements Serializable{
    3 int id;
    4 String name;
    5 Address address;//HAS-A
    6 public Student(int id, String name) {
    7 this.id = id;
    8 this.name = name;
    9 }
    10 }
    Since Address is not Serializable, you can not serialize the instance of Student class.

    Note: All the objects within an object must be Serializable.

    Java Serialization with static data member


    If there is any static data member in a class, it will not be serialized because static is the
    part of class not object.

    1 class Employee implements Serializable{


    2 int id;
    3 String name;
    4 static String company="SSS IT Pvt Ltd";//it won't be serialized
    5 public Student(int id, String name) {
    6 this.id = id;
    7 this.name = name;
    8 }
    9 }
    Java Serialization with array or collection
    Rule: In case of array or collection, all the objects of array or collection must be
    serializable. If any object is not serialiizable, serialization will be failed.

    Externalizable in java
    The Externalizable interface provides the facility of writing the state of an object into a
    byte stream in compress format. It is not a marker interface.

    The Externalizable interface provides two methods:

    public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException

    public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException
