this will store/retrieve your objects to a binary attribute in a relational
table
private byte[] serialize(Object obj) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream byteStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(byteStream);
oos.writeObject(obj);
return byteStream.toByteArray();
}
private Object deserialize(byte[] byteArray)
throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
if (byteArray == null)
return null;
else {
ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = new
ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(byteStream);
return ois.readObject();
}
