Hi,

For new licenses, JSX can be used in all your projects and products.
(it previously was restricted to a "named product"; we've now moved to
per-developer licensing).

There are volume discounts for 5 and 25 developer packs - respectively saving
20% and 36%.

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

yow just announced version 2.2.7.4 of Java Serialization to XML on
freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

The Object fromString(String xml) convenience method was added to the JSX.P
object, to be used with String asString(Object obj).

Project description:

Java Serialization to XML (JSX) translates between Java objects and XML, making
it possible to search, test, profile, and audit your object data with ordinary
XML and text processing tools. Your data can be migrated to new application
versions, to C++, and to other applications by transforming the XML. Unlike
other Java XML serializers, JSX is accurate for all objects.

Detailed history and release notes are available here:

Hi,

We are conducting a review of our licensing terms and prices this month to align
them with standard industry practices and customer expectations.  The aim is to
make them more familiar to customers and therefore easier to understand, assess
and make decisions about - and to fit in with internal procedures.

If the current prices and terms are suitable for your needs, it is worthwhile
considering taking advantage of them while the opportunity is still available.

To all who have already licensed JSX under the current generous (though
non-standard) terms: thanks for your support!


kind regards,
Brendan Macmillan

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

yow just announced version 2.2.7.2 of Java Serialization to XML on
freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

JSX.P.p(Object obj) was added, which is a method for general debugging. It
reveals the internals of any object graph, including classes, superclasses,
fields, inherited fields, hidden fields, cyclic references, and more.

Hi Teody,

Yes, JSX can serialize inner classes.

JSX is a precise re-implementation of Java serialization, so if Java
serialization can do it, JSX can too.

Here is an instance of the example you gave, and its XML:
     A a = new A();
     Inner ia = a.new Inner();
     ia.listOfA = new ArrayList();
     ia.listOfA.add(new A());
     ia.listOfA.add(new A());
     try {
       new JSX.ObjectWriter().writeObject(ia);
     } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
     }


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!-- jsx.org, (c) -->
<jsx major='1' minor='1' format='JSX.DataReader'>
  <object id='i0' class='A$Inner' superclasses=''>
   <declaredClass class='A$Inner'>
    <default>
     <collection field='listOfA' id='i1' class='java.util.ArrayList'>
      <object id='i2' class='A' superclasses=''>
       <declaredClass class='A'>
        <default/>
       </declaredClass>
      </object>
      <object id='i3' class='A' superclasses=''>
       <declaredClass class='A'>
        <default/>
       </declaredClass>
      </object>
     </collection>
     <object field='this$0' id='i4' class='A' superclasses=''>
      <declaredClass class='A'>
       <default/>
      </declaredClass>
     </object>
    </default>
   </declaredClass>
  </object>
</jsx>

Note that the XML includes the inner classname ("A$Inner"), and the
inner class's hidden field that refers to the outer class ("this$0").

Note also that if you serialize the outer class (variable a in the
above), you won't see the inner class, because the outer class doesn't
have a reference to it. The only reference is from the inner class to
the outer class. This isn't an issue in practice, because it is just
the same as Java serialization: if it works there, it works here.

Let me know if you have any other questions.


kind regards,
Brendan Macmillan

Thanks Paul, Daniel and Joël,

(I've replied to these bug reports privately already - this reply is
really for you users on the mailing list)

Sun made some changes in the serialization of Enums, in Java 1.6.0_07.

I've diagnosed the problem (with the help of your excellent bug
reports), and produced a fix. This is working, but I still need to
ensure it causes no problems with older JVMs (e.g. Java 1.4, which
didn't have Enums).

It will be released soon.


cheers,
Brendan Macmillan

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,

We are using JSX 2.2.3.8 (full version) and encountered problems with
recent Sun JRE (early revisions of 1.5 and 1.6 were OK). We have the
following testcase:

=====================================================================
import java.io.*;
import JSX.*;

public class test
{
        enum E { X }
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                try {
                        File f = new File("test.xml");
                        new ObjectWriter(new FileWriter(f)).writeObject(E.X);
                        new ObjectReader(new FileReader(f)).readObject();
                } catch (Exception e)
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
}
=====================================================================

I have tried even with the latest JSX (trial version) 2.2.6.0, but I
always get:

java.io.InvalidObjectException: can't deserialize enum

Could you please forward this to the technical support, so we could have
some advice to solve or work around this problem ?

In advance, many thanks

Best Regards,

Joël Bourquard

Hi,

JSX stops us from upgrading from JDK 1.6.0_05 to JDK 1.6.0_07 and JDK 1.6.0_10.

When will you provide an upgrade of the  jsx library? Can you suggest
a work-around for us until this upgrade is available?

The problem is that Sun has apperantly decided to disable default
serialization of Enum objects by adding the following code into
Enum.java JDK 1.6.0_07 and now also in JDK 1.6.0_10rc2:

     /**
       * prevent default deserialization
       */

     private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException,
         ClassNotFoundException {
             throw new InvalidObjectException("can't deserialize enum");
     }

     private void readObjectNoData() throws ObjectStreamException {
         throw new InvalidObjectException("can't deserialize enum");
     }

Hello,

I am developing a Java program I plan on distributing, and it needs
Object Serialization. I need to use JDK version 1.6 and I cannot
deserialize the class java.lang.Enum with JSX. Can you advise me on
this problem?

Hi Ed,

OK, I've just had a look at the attachments, and I don't see any
obvious problems.

Because JOS behaves the same as JSX, it sounds like a bug in the code
in the UI classes that customize their serialization (either for
writing or reading). I suggest checking Sun's bug parade - they often
have workarounds, too.

It's very odd that XMLEncoder also fails - one commonality is your own
code, although normally this wouldn't cause serialization issues.  But
do you subclass any UI components? It could be that such a subclass
must handle serialization in some way. A careful scan of the javadocs
should reveal this (esp the "serial form", hyperlinked just before the
constructors, methods etc are listed).  But I think this is unlikely,
unless you are changing some UI fundamentals.

The XMLEncoder problem is also worth checking out in the bug parade.

Apart from that, I can only offer the old path of narrowing down the
problem, by methodically removing things one at a time, until the
problem goes away. If nothing else, it might reveal a workaround.

Let me know how you go.


cheers,
Brendan

Hi Ed,

  A simple first test is to try it with JOS (ie. replace
  JSX.ObjectWriter with java.io.ObjectOutputStream and equivalent for
  reading)

  JSX emulates JOS, so this may show where the problem is.

  BTW: Sun recommends XMLEncoder/Decoder for UI components - not JOS. If
  you are doing *pure* UI only, this may be a better choice.

  Please let me know how you go (though I might not be up much later tonight ;-)


  cheers,
  Brendan

  PS: it's preferable if you post technical questions to the mailing
  list, so others can provide help (and have access to the answers). You
  can search it, too:

sorry for the message; testing

Hi Edison,

  You can customize the JSX serialization of the class using the
  standard techniques as for JOS (Java Object Serialization). See below.
  But first, let me ask something:

  How much shorter do you need it to be?  The JSX output truly is
  verbose; but even if shorter, XML is still pretty verbose:
   (1). Would zipping the XML help enough? Due to the redundancy of
  JSX's XML, it compresses very well.
   (2). If you have an "image file", is there any way to just save that
  file (eg in a DB, or in the filesystem), and refer to it from the XML,
  instead of serializing as XML what is already a serial format?  (I
  recognize there can be good reasons for not doing this)


  Customizing JSX:
  For example, you could create a string that represents the image (in
  base64, or whatever you want), and record that as the serial form (and
  the decoder to read this back). Here's two ways of making JSX use your
  code:

  If the class is your own (ie you can edit it), you do this by writing
  writeObject() and readObject() methods in your class - these are
  call-back methods that JSX will call in your class.

  If the class is not your own (ie you can't edit it), you can subclass
  JSX.ObjectWriter, and implement the "Object objectReplace(Object obj)"
  method: in it, you detect if the object is of the class in question,
  and if it is, construct a new object, which has a field initialized to
  the String you want (as above).  For reading, you subclass
  JSX.ObjectReader, and implement "Object resolveObject(Object obj)" etc


  There are lots of resources available for how to do this. There's the
  JSX manual on www.jsx.org/support.html

  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/serialization/spec/output.html

  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/serialization/spec/input.html

  There are many tutorials online: search for JOS customization.

  Please post to the mailing list how you are going, and any questions you have.


  Hope this helps,
  Brendan

Just to confirm: the just released version of JSX is compatible with
Java 1.6, and it is free for you because your license covers all 2.2.*
version of JSX.

The JSX version you originally purchased was released before Java 1.5
- and there are some Java features introduced in Java 1.5 (Enums) that
required special support in serialization.

I recommend you upgrade. It's free for you.

I will send you the download URL again (ie for the purchase version,

We have a site license for JSX. We have upgraded our project to
JDK1.6.0
and now JSX is complaining. Does JSX continue to operate properly
despite the message? Do we have to pay to be compatible with the
latest
version of the JDK? What are our options?



**** MESSAGE ****
---ATTENTION!---  JSX could not recognize your implementation of
java, which is:
   implVendor="Sun Microsystems Inc."
   specVersion="1.6"
   implVersion="1.6.0"
In the meantime, JSX2 will try the standard implementation for Java
1.4 - which will probably work
Please post the above information to: jsx-ideas@yahoogroups.com
  - in particular, please state whether the standard implementation
worked or not, for both writing and reading.  Please do a few tests
before you post.

   If JSX's guess really does work, it can be fixed with:
   if (implVendor.equals("Sun Microsystems Inc.") &&
specVersion.equals("1.6") && implVersion.equals("1.6.0"))
   magicName = "JSX.magic.MagicClass14";

**** VERSION ****
I don't know what version we are using. There is no version info. In
the jar manifest. The is no version info in the jar name, such a
axis-1.1.jar. I did a quick search of the user manual, and did not
see a runtime way to display jar version.

Hi Stephen,

"serialPersistentFields" is the approach I was talking about. Here's an example:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/serialization/spec/examples.html

You customize how the object is serialized and deserialized by adding
callback methods to it, readObject and writeObject - JSX will call
these. Within these, you can use the serialPersistentFields (an array
that defines the class's fields for the purposes of serialization - so
they can differ from the actual fields of the class), and GetField and
PutField to read/write them.

So, you can customize how fields are read in, with these virtual
fields that you can process in whatever way you need to before
assigning the values to fields. For serialization, you can write out
the fields as normal.

I recommend having a play around with this. You can use this as a
migration mechanism, to read in the old version and write out the new.
You can inspect the XML to verify it has made the change you intended
to make.

For simple changes, it may be easier to modify the XML directly.

Note: for primitive type changes, JSX automatically converts them to
the expected type.


Here's the JOS spec.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/serialization/spec/serialTOC.html


BTW: There's only one change to serialization in Java 1.6 (very esoteric):
