    Java Programming: Serialization

    Uploaded by

    Teja Peddi
    Serialization in Java allows an object to be converted to a sequence of bytes that contains the object's data and type information. This serialized object can then be written to a file. Deserialization recreates the object from the stored bytes, even if on a different platform than where it was serialized. The example demonstrates serializing an Employee object to a file using ObjectOutputStream, and then deserializing it back into an Employee object using ObjectInputStream. A second example shows serializing a Student object to a file in the same way.

    Q) Illustrate with example Serialization and Deserialization in Java.

    Serialization
    Java provides a mechanism, called object serialization where an object can be
    represented as a sequence of bytes that includes the object's data as well as
    information about the object's type and the types of data stored in the object.

    After a serialized object has been written into a file, it can be read from the file and
    deserialized that is, the type information and bytes that represent the object and its
    data can be used to recreate the object in memory.
    Most impressive is that the entire process is JVM independent, meaning an object can
    be serialized on one platform and deserialized on an entirely different platform.

    The ObjectOutputStream class is used to serialize an Object. The following SerializeDemo


    program instantiates an Employee object and serializes it to a file.

    Ex:
    import java.io.*;
    public class SerializeDemo {

    public static void main(String [] args) {


    Employee e = new Employee();
    e.name = "Reyan Ali";
    e.address = "Phokka Kuan, Ambehta Peer";
    e.SSN = 11122333;
    e.number = 101;

    try {
    FileOutputStream fileOut =
    new FileOutputStream("/tmp/employee.ser");
    ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);
    out.writeObject(e);
    out.close();
    fileOut.close();
    System.out.printf("Serialized data is saved in /tmp/employee.ser");
    } catch (IOException i) {
    i.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    }
    When serializing an object to a file, the standard convention in Java is to give the file
    a .ser extension.

    Deserialization
    The following DeserializeDemo program deserializes the Employee object created in the
    SerializeDemo program.

    Ex:
    import java.io.*;
    public class DeserializeDemo {

    public static void main(String [] args) {


    Employee e = null;
    try {
    FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("/tmp/employee.ser");
    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
    e = (Employee) in.readObject();
    in.close();
    fileIn.close();
    } catch (IOException i) {
    i.printStackTrace();
    return;
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException c) {
    System.out.println("Employee class not found");
    c.printStackTrace();
    return;
    }

    System.out.println("Deserialized Employee...");
    System.out.println("Name: " + e.name);
    System.out.println("Address: " + e.address);
    System.out.println("SSN: " + e.SSN);
    System.out.println("Number: " + e.number);
    }
    }

    Output:
    Deserialized Employee...
    Name: Reyan Ali
    Address:Phokka Kuan, Ambehta Peer
    SSN: 0
    Number:101
    Example 2

    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.

    Ex:
    import java.io.*;
    class Persist{
    public static void main(String args[]){
    try{
    //Creating the object
    Student s1 =new Student(211,"ravi");
    //Creating stream and writing the object
    FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream("f.txt");
    ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(fout);
    out.writeObject(s1);
    out.flush();
    //closing the stream
    out.close();

    }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
    }
    }

    Deserialization
    Ex:
    import java.io.*;
    class Depersist{
    public static void main(String args[]){
    try{
    //Creating stream to read the object
    ObjectInputStream in=new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("f.txt"));
    Student s=(Student)in.readObject();
    //printing the data of the serialized object
    System.out.println(s.id+" "+s.name);
    //closing the stream
    in.close();
    }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
    }
    }

    Output:
    211 ravi
