        Parameters:
        obj - the object to serialize
        Returns:
        the serialized bytes
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if the serialization fails
      • serialize

        public static byte[] serialize​(java.lang.Object obj,
                                       java.lang.String errorMessage)
        Wrapper around serialize(Object) which throws a runtime exception with the given message on failure.
        Parameters:
        obj - the object the serialize
        errorMessage - the message to show if serialization fails
        Returns:
        the serialized bytes
      • deserialize

        public static java.io.Serializable deserialize​(byte[] bytes)
                                                throws java.io.IOException,
                                                       java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
        Deserializes a byte array into an object. When the bytes are null, returns null.
        Parameters:
        bytes - the byte array to deserialize
        Returns:
        the deserialized object
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if the deserialization fails
        java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if no class found to deserialize into
