Question

XStream serialization library声称在开箱即用的序列化复杂Java对象方面是健壮的（例如，不需要修改对象或映射）。特别是，根据XStream docs，XStream可以处理循环对象引用。

所以我写了一个测试来检查这个 - 我试图序列化一个有点复杂的数据结构（LinkedHashMultimap），其中包含对iteself的引用：

import com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap;
import com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream;

public class SerializationTest {

    public static void main(String[] args0) {

        // Create LinkedHashMultimap to serialize
        LinkedHashMultimap<String, Object> outObj = LinkedHashMultimap.create();
        outObj.put("x", 1);
        outObj.put("x", "abc");
        outObj.put("y", outObj);   // Add a self-reference

        // Try to serialize
        XStream xstream = new XStream();
        String xml = xstream.toXML(outObj);
        System.out.println(xml);  // Print XML to console for a quick peek

        // Try to deserialize - ERROR HERE!!!
        LinkedHashMultimap<String, Object> inObj = (LinkedHashMultimap<String, Object>)xstream.fromXML(xml);

        System.out.println(inObj);
    }
}

序列化的XML对象如下所示：

<com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap serialization="custom">
  <unserializable-parents/>
  <com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap>
    <default/>
    <int>2</int>
    <int>2</int>
    <string>x</string>
    <string>y</string>
    <int>3</int>
    <string>x</string>
    <int>1</int>
    <string>x</string>
    <string>abc</string>
    <string>y</string>
    <com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap reference="../.."/>
  </com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap>
</com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap>

但是，反序列化（即对xstream.fromXML()的调用）失败并显示NullPointerException例外：

Exception in thread "main" com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: Could not call com.google.common.collect.LinkedHashMultimap.readObject() : null

所以有人知道为什么会这样吗？以及如何解决这个问题？

Answer 1

使用：

XStream xstream = new XStream();
xstream.setMode(XStream.XPATH_RELATIVE_REFERENCES);

如何在XStream中处理循环引用？
