Serializable Check

Belongs to following categories: Utility, ULC5.2,

Purpose

Implements a helper class that checks at runtime if the current ULC session is serializable. This information can be useful when an ULC application is or will be deployed in a Servlet or EJB container.

How to use

We call the execute() method of the SerializableCheck class.

SerializableCheck.execute()

How it is implemented

We try to serialize the current ULC session into a byte array using the standard Java Serialization mechanism. An exception will be thrown if the session cannot be serialized.

public class SerializableCheck
{
  public static void execute()
  {
    try
    {
      ULCSession ulcSession = ULCSession.currentSession();      ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(new ByteArrayOutputStream());
      objectOutputStream.writeObject(ulcSession);
      objectOutputStream.flush();
      objectOutputStream.close();
    }
    catch(IOException ioe)
    {
      System.err.println("Could not serialize session: " + ioe);
    }
  }
}

Compatibility

The described functionality has been developed and tested using JDK 1.3.1_10 and ULC 5.2.
