Implement and use an Interface
Create a Serializable interface consisting of
* Accept a stream or handle or descriptor argument for the source or destination
* Save to destination or restore from source the properties or data members of the implementing class (restrict yourself to the primitive types
Next, create a Person class which has
groovy
Submit a new solution for groovy, erlang, or csharp
There are 13 other solutions in additional languages (clojure, cpp, fantom, fsharp ...)
'save' and 'restore' methods, each of which:
* Accept a stream or handle or descriptor argument for the source or destination
* Save to destination or restore from source the properties or data members of the implementing class (restrict yourself to the primitive types
'int' and 'string')
Next, create a Person class which has
'name' and 'age' properties or data members and implements this interface. Instantiate a Person object, save it to a serial stream, and instantiate a new Person object by restoring it from the serial stream.
// Built-in functionality but with slightly different names. Showing usage:
class Person implements Serializable { String name; int age }
p1 = new Person(name:'John', age:21)
p2 = null
output = new ByteArrayOutputStream() // or FileOutputStream, etc.
output.withObjectOutputStream { oos -> oos << p1 }
input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray())
input.withObjectInputStream(getClass().classLoader){ ois -> p2 = ois.readObject() }
assert p2.name == 'John'
assert p2.age == 21
class Person implements Serializable { String name; int age }
p1 = new Person(name:'John', age:21)
p2 = null
output = new ByteArrayOutputStream() // or FileOutputStream, etc.
output.withObjectOutputStream { oos -> oos << p1 }
input = new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray())
input.withObjectInputStream(getClass().classLoader){ ois -> p2 = ois.readObject() }
assert p2.name == 'John'
assert p2.age == 21
