Method Detail

objectToByteArray

public static final byte[] objectToByteArray(Object obj)

Convert the given Serializable Object into a byte array.

Parameters:

obj - the Serializable object to be compressed

Returns:

a byteArray representing the Serialization of the given object.

objectToByteArray

public static final byte[] objectToByteArray(Object obj,
                                             boolean compress)

Convert the given Serializable Object into a byte array.

The returned byteArray can be compressed by setting compress boolean argument value to true.

Parameters:

obj - the Serializable object to be compressed

compress - true if the returned byteArray must be also compressed, false if no compression is required.

Returns:

a compressed (or not) byteArray representing the Serialization of the given object.

byteArrayToObject

public static Object byteArrayToObject(byte[] input)

Convert the given byte array into the corresponding object.

Parameters:

input - the byteArray to be convert as an object.

Returns:

the object corresponding to the given byteArray.

byteArrayToObject

public static Object byteArrayToObject(byte[] input,
                                       boolean uncompress)

Convert the given byte array into the corresponding object.

The given byteArray can be uncompressed if it has been compressed before.

Parameters:

input - the byteArray to be convert as an object.

uncompress - true if the given byteArray must be also uncompressed, false if no compression was made on it.

Returns:

the object corresponding to the given byteArray.
