Serialization between ehanced and non-enhanced objects
The documentation makes the following claim:
2.4. Serializing Enhanced Types
By default, OpenJPA maintains serialization compatibility between the
enhanced and unenhanced versions of a class. This allows you to serialize
instances between a server using OpenJPA and a client that does not have
access to enhanced classes or OpenJPA libraries. In some cases, however, you
can make the persist and attach processes more robust and efficient by
allowing breaks in serialization compatibility. See Section
<http://openjpa.apache.org/docs/openjpa-0.9.0-incubating/manual/manual.html#
ref_guide_detach_graph> 1.3, " Defining the Detached Object Graph " for
details.
However, in actual practice I have not been able to make this work. When I
have a class structure like:
@Entity
public class User {
@Id
private String userId;
@Column(nullable=false)
private String password;
@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name="UserRoles",
joinColumn=@JoinColumn(name="userId",
refererencedColumName="userId"),
inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="rolename",
referencedColumnName="roleName"))
List<Role> roles;
}
@Entity
public class Role {
@Id
private String roleName;
}
and I enhance these classes, the enhancer adds into the User.class file an
additional object of type org.apache.openjpa.util.java$util$ArrayList$proxy
which actually wrapps the 'roles' field. Additionally, all of the actual
field attributes are encapsulated inside another object called 'default'. I
can't seem to serialize in any manner that will work, either with
ObjectOutputStream, java.beans.XMLEncoder or XStream.toXML,
When an attempt is made to deserialize in another JVM that does not have the
enhanced classes, and does not have the openjpa package at all, it fails.
Straight ObjectOutputStream fails with class not found for the above
ArrayList$proxy, XMLCoder generates NullPointerExceptions because it can't
find the class, and XMLStream doesn't recognized either the class or the
'default' tag that was generated on the server side.
I tried adding in the
@DetachedState private Object state
but that doesn't seem to do anything but add an additional field that gets
filled with a byte array.
The XML that is provided by java.beans.XMLEncode which shows the location of
the proxy object is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.6.0" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object class="commons.UserProfile">
<void property="emailAddress">
<string></string>
</void>
<void property="firstName">
<string>System</string>
</void>
<void property="lastName">
<string>Administrator</string>
</void>
<void property="password">
<string>d69ea425c1a1ad4043f915887f9cd562</string>
</void>
<void property="phoneNumber">
<string></string>
</void>
<void property="roles">
<object class="org.apache.openjpa.util.java$util$ArrayList$proxy">
<void method="add">
<object id="Role0" class="commons.Role">
<void property="roleName">
<string>player</string>
</void>
</object>
</void>
<void method="add">
<object id="Role1" class="commons.Role">
<void property="roleName">
<string>dungeonmaster</string>
</void>
</object>
</void>
<void method="add">
<object idref="Role0"/>
</void>
<void method="add">
<object idref="Role1"/>
</void>
</object>
</void>
<void property="userId">
<string>admin</string>
</void>
</object>
</java>
So how do you actually implement serialization from an enhanced server side
object to a non-enhanced client side object?
RE: Serialization between ehanced and non-enhanced objects
Posted by Pinaki Poddar <pp...@bea.com>.
Jere,
The mailserver perhaps blocks attachement.
Can you please post them as attachement to a JIRA issue
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA?
One setting that impacts serialization behavior is openjpa.DetachState
(http://openjpa.apache.org/docs/latest/manual/manual.html#ref_guide_deta
ch_graph).
But these settings are not the cause of what you are observing on
serialization of proxy sco (ArrayList) classes.
your enhanced classes will reveal further.

Hi,
It sounds like our proxy list wrappers are not exernalizing themselves
properly in your environment. What version of OpenJPA are you using?
Also, can you post your class file itself so that we can take a closer
look at it? Also, can you post your OpenJPA configuration settings?
