Java Serializable Object to Byte Array

Question

Let\'s say I have a serializable class AppMessage.

I would like to transmit it as byte[] over sockets to another machine where it is rebuil

Answer 1

The best way to do it is to use SerializationUtils from Apache Commons Lang.

To serialize:

byte[] data = SerializationUtils.serialize(yourObject);

To deserialize:

YourObject yourObject = SerializationUtils.deserialize(data)

As mentioned, this requires Commons Lang library. It can be imported using Gradle:

compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.5'

Maven:

    org.apache.commons
    commons-lang3
    3.5

Jar file
