How do I compress Java objects?
Category: java.util.zip, viewed: 5942 time(s).
This examples demonstrate how to compress Java object. We compress the object using GZIPOutputStream and pass it into ObjectOutputStream to write the object to external file. For the User it need to implements the Serializable interface, you can see it below this example code.
package org.kodejava.example.util;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream;
public class ZipObjectDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
User admin = new User();
admin.setId(new Long(1));
admin.setUsername("admin");
admin.setPassword("secret");
admin.setFirstName("System");
admin.setLastName("Administrator");
User foo = new User();
foo.setId(new Long(2));
foo.setUsername("foo");
foo.setPassword("secret");
foo.setFirstName("Foo");
foo.setLastName("Bar");
System.out.println("Zipping....");
System.out.println(admin);
System.out.println(foo);
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("user.dat"));
GZIPOutputStream gos = new GZIPOutputStream(fos);
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(gos);
oos.writeObject(admin);
oos.writeObject(foo);
oos.flush();
oos.close();
gos.close();
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
package org.kodejava.example.util;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class User implements Serializable {
private Long id;
private String username;
private String password;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public User() {
}
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
/**
* {@inheritDoc)
*/
@Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("id=").append(id);
sb.append("; username=").append(username);
sb.append("; password=").append(password);
sb.append("; firstName=").append(firstName);
sb.append("; lastName=").append(lastName);
return sb.toString();
}
}
