Following snippet convert serializable object to byte array.
public static byte[] serialize(Serializable serializable) {
try (ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(byteArrayOutputStream)) {
objectOutputStream.writeObject(serializable);
objectOutputStream.flush();
return byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
Following snippet convert the byte array to object.
public static Object deserialize(byte[] byteArray) {
try (ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(byteArrayInputStream)) {
return objectInputStream.readObject();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
Find the below working application.
