How can I change package for a bunch of java serializable classes

问题

I want to change the packages of multiple classes in my application. A nice eclipse redactor good have been great but some of my classes are Serializables and I need to support cross version compatibility.

Any Idea on how it can be done? Can it be done automatically/semi-automatically?

回答1:

If the class structure remains the same, you can subclass a custom ObjectInputStream, call enableResolveObject(true) in its constructor and then override readClassDescriptor() with something like that:

protected ObjectStreamClass readClassDescriptor() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    ObjectStreamClass read = super.readClassDescriptor();
    if (read.getName().startsWith("com.old.package.")) {
        return ObjectStreamClass.lookup(Class.forName(read.getName().replace("com.old.package.", "org.new.package.")));
    }
    return read;
}

You simply can't change neither the name of your class nor your package without breaking the compatibility with the Serialization.

You'll have to find a way to keep your classes in the same package or you have to break the retro-compatibility.

If you still do updates on previous versions of your application, you can create a mandatory update which will change the way you serialize your data and go without the default java serialization.
