public interface SerializationService

SPI to serialize user objects to Data and back to Object Data is the internal representation of binary data in hazelcast.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ManagedContext	getManagedContext() see Config.setManagedContext(ManagedContext)
<B extends Data> B	toData(Object obj) Serializes an object to a Data.
<B extends Data> B	toData(Object obj, PartitioningStrategy strategy) Serializes an object to a Data.
<T> T	toObject(Object data) Deserializes an object.
<T> T	toObject(Object data, Class klazz) Deserializes an object.

Method Detail

toData

<B extends Data> B toData(Object obj)

Serializes an object to a Data.

This method can safely be called with a Data instance. In that case, that instance is returned.

If this method is called with null, null is returned.

Parameters:

obj - the object to serialize.

Returns:

the serialized object.

Throws:

HazelcastSerializationException - when serialization fails.

toData

<B extends Data> B toData(Object obj,
                          PartitioningStrategy strategy)

Serializes an object to a Data.

This method can safely be called with a Data instance. In that case, that instance is returned.

If this method is called with null, null is returned.

Parameters:

obj - the object to serialize.

strategy - strategy is used to calculate partition ID of the resulting data see PartitioningStrategy

Returns:

the serialized object.

Throws:

HazelcastSerializationException - when serialization fails.

toObject

<T> T toObject(Object data)

Deserializes an object.

This method can safely be called on an object that is already deserialized. In that case, that instance is returned.

If this method is called with null, null is returned.

Parameters:

data - the data to deserialize.

Returns:

the deserialized object.

Throws:

HazelcastSerializationException - when deserialization fails.

toObject

<T> T toObject(Object data,
               Class klazz)

Deserializes an object.

This method can safely be called on an object that is already deserialized. In that case, that instance is returned.

If this method is called with null, null is returned.

Parameters:

data - the data to deserialize.

klazz - The class to instantiate when deserializing the object.

Returns:

the deserialized object.

Throws:

HazelcastSerializationException - when deserialization fails.

getManagedContext

ManagedContext getManagedContext()

see Config.setManagedContext(ManagedContext)

Returns:

ManagedContext that is set by user in Config
