[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JASSIST-42) Proxy serialization looses inner data objects

David Lloyd commented on JASSIST-42:
------------------------------------
Designing Javassist proxies to rely on readResolve()/writeReplace() was a mistake for a
few reasons.
1) The design of SerializedProxy is insufficiently flexible, as it makes a number of
assumptions about the serializable proxy (for example, that it has no significant
serializable state).
2) Proxy type superclasses cannot define their own readResolve/writeReplace methods; at
best it simply won't work; at worst it could result in VerifyError since the
superclass's writeReplace might have too restrictive of an access level or a final
modifier.
3) It is impossible to use a secondary mechanism, like special class annotation, to make
traditional serialization work properly because the proxy's writeReplace will cause
serialization to be bypassed in any case.
If there is an option to globally disable writeReplace/SerializableProxy somehow, then the
ObjectOutputStream subclass idea will solve all three of the above issues and would
suffice to allow proxy serialization in a 100% compliant fashion, with a minimum of coding
effort required.
Proxy serialization looses inner data objects

Key: JASSIST-42
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JASSIST-42
Project: Javassist
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Damien Lecan
Assignee: Shigeru Chiba
Priority: Blocker
I working with proxies build with ProxyFactory method.
When I want to serialize/deserialize it, everything seems to be ok except that only proxy
instance is serialized, not inner objects.
Eg.
Object "A" contains an instance of "B"
After serialization/deserialization of a proxy of A, instance of "B" in
"A" is null
When I look at this code :
public static SerializedProxy makeSerializedProxy(Object proxy)
throws java.io.InvalidClassException
{
Class clazz = proxy.getClass();
return new SerializedProxy(clazz, ProxyFactory.getFilter(clazz),
ProxyFactory.getHandler(clazz));
}
I don't understand how serialization can keep inner objects ...
