Long-term persistence is a model that enables beans to be saved in XML format.
Information on the XML format and on how to implement long-term persistence for non-beans can be found in
XML Schema and
The
XMLEncoder
Serializable
objects. The following code fragment is an example of writing a Java bean and its properties in XML format:
XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder( new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream("Beanarchive.xml"))); encoder.writeObject(object); encoder.close();
The
XMLDecoder
XMLDecoder decoder = new XMLDecoder( new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream("Beanarchive.xml"))); Object object = decoder.readObject(); decoder.close();
An XML bean archive has its own specific syntax, which includes the following tags to represent each bean element:
<java>
tag to embody all object elements of the bean<object>
tag to represent a set of method calls needed to reconstruct an object from its serialized form
<object class="javax.swing.JButton" method="new"> <string>Ok</string> </object>
<object class="javax.swing.JButton"> <void method="setText"> <string>Cancel</string> </void> </object>
<boolean>
<byte>
<char>
<short>
<int>
<long>
<float>
<double>
<int>5555</int>
class
> tag to represent an instance of Class.
<class>java.swing.JFrame</class>
array
> tag to define an array
<array class="java.lang.String" length="5"> </array>
The following code represents an XML archive that will be generated for the SimpleBean
component:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <java> <object class="javax.swing.JFrame"> <void method="add"> <object class="java.awt.BorderLayout" field="CENTER"/> <object class="SimpleBean"/> </void> <void property="defaultCloseOperation"> <object class="javax.swing.WindowConstants" field="DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE"/> </void> <void method="pack"/> <void property="visible"> <boolean>true</boolean> </void> </object> </java>
