public class WicketObjects
extends Object

Object (de)serialization utilities.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
static interface	WicketObjects.IObjectSizeOfStrategy	Interface that enables users to plugin the way object sizes are calculated with Wicket.
static final class	WicketObjects.SerializingObjectSizeOfStrategy	WicketObjects.IObjectSizeOfStrategy that works by serializing the object to an instance of ByteCountingOutputStream, which records the number of bytes written to it.

Method Details

resolveClass

public static <T> Class<T> resolveClass(String className)

Type Parameters:

T - class type

Parameters:

className - Class to resolve

Returns:

Resolved class

cloneObject

public static <T> T cloneObject(T object)

Makes a deep clone of an object by serializing and deserializing it. The object must be fully serializable to be cloned. No extra debug info is gathered.

Parameters:

object - The object to clone

Returns:

A deep copy of the object

newInstance

public static <T> T newInstance(String className)

Creates a new instance using the current application's class resolver. Returns null if className is null.

Parameters:

className - The full class name

Returns:

The new object instance

setObjectSizeOfStrategy

public static void setObjectSizeOfStrategy(WicketObjects.IObjectSizeOfStrategy objectSizeOfStrategy)

Sets the strategy for determining the sizes of objects.

Parameters:

objectSizeOfStrategy - the strategy. Pass null to reset to the default.

sizeof

public static long sizeof(Serializable object)

Computes the size of an object. Note that this is an estimation, never an absolute accurate size.

Parameters:

object - Object to compute size of

Returns:

The size of the object in bytes
