如何在Java中测试一个类正确实现Serializable(不仅仅是Serializable的一个实例)

标签: java serialization

我正在实现一个可序列化的类(因此它是一个使用w / RMI的值对象)。但我需要测试它。有没有办法轻松做到这一点?

澄清:我正在实现这个类,所以在类定义中坚持使用Serializable是微不足道的。我需要手动序列化/反序列化它以查看它是否有效。

我发现这个C# question,Java有类似的答案吗?

简单的方法是检查对象是java.io.Serializable还是java.io.Externalizable的实例,但这并不能真正证明对象确实是可序列化的。

唯一可靠的方法是尝试真实。最简单的测试类似于:

new ObjectOutputStream(new ByteArrayOutputStream()).writeObject(myObject);

并检查它不会抛出异常。

Apache Commons Lang提供了一个更简短的版本:

SerializationUtils.serialize(myObject);

再次检查异常。

你可以更加严谨,并检查它是否反序列化为与原始版本相同的东西:

Serializable original = ...
Serializable copy = SerializationUtils.clone(original);
assertEquals(original, copy);

等等。

基于skaffman答案的实用方法:

private static <T extends Serializable> byte[] pickle(T obj) 
       throws IOException 
{
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(baos);
    oos.writeObject(obj);
    oos.close();
    return baos.toByteArray();
}

private static <T extends Serializable> T unpickle(byte[] b, Class<T> cl)
       throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException 
{
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(b);
    ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bais);
    Object o = ois.readObject();
    return cl.cast(o);
}

简短的回答是,您可以提出一些候选对象,并尝试使用您选择的机制对它们进行序列化。这里的测试是在编组/解组时没有遇到错误,并且得到的“再水化”对象与原始对象相同。

或者,如果您没有任何候选对象,则可以实现基于反射的测试,该测试会对您的类的(非静态,非瞬态)字段进行内省,以确保它们也是Serializable。从经验来看,这令人惊讶地迅速变得复杂,但它可以在合理的范围内完成。

后一种方法的缺点是如果一个场是例如List<String>,那么你可以在没有严格可序列化字段的情况下使类失败,或者只是假设将使用List的可序列化实现。两者都不完美。 (请注意,后一个问题也存在于示例中;如果测试中使用的每个示例都使用可序列化的列表,那么在实践中没有什么可以防止其他代码使用非序列化版本。)

这段代码应该这样做......

import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.Externalizable;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println(isSerializable("Hello"));
        System.out.println(isSerializable(new Main()));
    }

    public static boolean isSerializable(final Object o)
    {
        final boolean retVal;

        if(implementsInterface(o))
        {
            retVal = attemptToSerialize(o);
        }
        else
        {
            retVal = false;
        }

        return (retVal);
    }

    private static boolean implementsInterface(final Object o)
    {
        final boolean retVal;

        retVal = ((o instanceof Serializable) || (o instanceof Externalizable));

        return (retVal);
    }

    private static boolean attemptToSerialize(final Object o)
    {
        final OutputStream sink;
        ObjectOutputStream stream;

        stream = null;

        try
        {
            sink   = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            stream = new ObjectOutputStream(sink);
            stream.writeObject(o);
            // could also re-serilalize at this point too
        }
        catch(final IOException ex)
        {
            return (false);
        }
        finally
        {
            if(stream != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    stream.close();
                }
                catch(final IOException ex)
                {
                    // should not be able to happen
                }
            }
        }

        return (true);
    }
}

您可以进行以下测试:

  • 将对象序列化为文件并制作 肯定没有抛出异常。
  • 此外,反序列化对象并进行比较 与原始对象。

以下是将对象序列化和反序列化为文件的示例:

这仅适用于完全填充的对象,如果您要求顶级对象中包含的任何对象也可序列化,则它们不能为null,因为序列化/反序列化会跳过空对象,因此该测试无效

答案 6 :(得分:0)

我尝试编写一个单元测试(使用Spock在Groovy中),它可以检查供RMI使用的给定接口实际上是完全可序列化的-所有参数,异常以及方法中定义的类型的可能实现

到目前为止,这似乎对我来说仍然有效,但是,这样做有点奇怪,并且在某些情况下可能无法解决,因此后果自负!

您将需要用自己的示例接口Notification等替换。该示例包括一个不可序列化的字段作为说明。
