Usage: *

 *   java au.com.pharos.meta.SerializationDumper 
 *
 * where SERFILE is the name of the serialization file.
 *
 * 

Limitations: * *

    *

  1. Values are displayed only for public fields, due to Java * security restrictions. *

  2. Only top-level objects are dumped. *
* *

These are fairly serious restrictions, but SerializationDumper * at least checks that the stream is well-formed, and gives some * indication of what it contains. * * @author Martin Pool * @version $Revision: 1.1 $ **/ public class SerializationDumper { public static void main(String argv[]) { try { ObjectInput in = new ObjectInputStream(System.in); PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(System.out); SerializationDumper dumper = new SerializationDumper(); dumper.dump(in, writer); writer.flush(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } /** Dump all objects read from in to out * in a human-readable debugging form. **/ public void dump(ObjectInput in, PrintWriter out) throws IOException { while (true) { // exception on eof Object obj = null; try { obj = in.readObject(); displayObject(obj, out); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { warning(e, out); } catch (OptionalDataException e) { error(e, out); return; } catch (ObjectStreamException e) { warning(e, out); } catch (EOFException e) { return; } } } /** Display an object in human-readable form. **/ private void displayObject(Object obj, PrintWriter out) throws IOException { if (obj == null) { out.println("(null)"); return; } Class cls = obj.getClass(); // Print the header: the name, hashcode, and string // representation out.println(cls.getName() + "@0x" + Integer.toHexString(obj.hashCode()) + "{"); out.println("\t\"" + obj.toString() + "\""); // TODO: Recursive descent of the graph, allowing for circular // structures. // Print each field of the object Field[] fields = cls.getDeclaredFields(); for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) displayField(obj, fields[i], out); out.println("}"); } /** Display a particular field from an object in human-readable * form.
