• The concept of object flow
• Object Flow Instances

• summary

To achieve persistent object preservation, we need to introduce the Java object serialization mechanism, which can output any object to the stream:

/** *Stream Object */ Object object = new Object(); //Create object stream and output to fileObject.dat ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\object.dat")); //Write object to file output.writeObject(object); ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\object.dat")); object = input.readObject();

• Company: Represents the external presence of the organizational structure; the company is a complete entity composed of departments and staff.
• Departments: Represents the units of operation in the organizational structure; Departments can be divided into different business units by type.
• Employee: Represents the smallest unit in the organization structure; employees exist in different business units by position.

With classes and constructors that complete the initialization of objects, we have the ability to build an entire organizational structure. Next, we build a complete organizational structure for the company:

/** 1. Save organization architecture information with object flow 2. * @author zhuhuix 3. @date 2020-05-27 */ public class ObjectStreamSave { //Define a global static variable as the id that controls the organization's architecture public static int id = 0; public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { //establishment of company Company company = new Company(id++, "Internet Co., Ltd."); //The company establishes the general manager's Office Department manageDept = new Department(id++, "General Manager Office", null); company.addDepartment(manageDept); //Set up Product Department under General Manager Department productDept = new Department(id++, "Product Department", manageDept.getId()); company.addDepartment(productDept); //Set up Group A and Group B under Product Department company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "product A group", productDept.getId())); company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "product B group", productDept.getId())); //Set up R&D department under General Manager's Office Department developmentDept = new Department(id++, "R&D Department", manageDept.getId()); company.addDepartment(developmentDept); //Set up software and hardware groups under R&D Department company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "Software Group", developmentDept.getId())); company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "Hardware Group", developmentDept.getId())); //Set up Marketing Department under General Manager Department marketDept = new Department(id++, "Marketing Department", manageDept.getId()); company.addDepartment(marketDept); //Set up Creative Group and Channel Group under Marketing Department company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "Creative Group", marketDept.getId())); company.addDepartment(new Department(id++, "Channel Group", marketDept.getId())); //Personnel appointment in general manager's Office manageDept.addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Mike", "male", 35, "General manager", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(100000))); manageDept.addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Tom", "male", 34, "Vice General Manager", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(60000))); //R&D Personnel Appointment developmentDept.addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Jack", "male", 30, "Director of R&D", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(40000))); company.findDepartmentByName("Software Group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Kate", "female", 26, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); company.findDepartmentByName("Hardware Group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Will", "male", 24, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); //Personnel Appointment for Product Department productDept.addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Jerry", "male", 28, "Product Director", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(40000))); company.findDepartmentByName("product A group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Merry", "female", 28, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); company.findDepartmentByName("product B group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Leo", "male", 27, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); //Marketing Personnel Appointment marketDept.addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Rose", "female", 29, "Marketing Director", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(40000))); company.findDepartmentByName("Creative Group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Amy", "", 25, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); company.findDepartmentByName("Channel Group") .addEmployee(new Employee(id++, "Tony", "male", 23, "Group members", new Date(), BigDecimal.valueOf(20000))); //Traverse company organization structure int deptCount = 0; int empCount = 0; Iterator<Department> deptIterator = company.getDepartments().iterator(); while (deptIterator.hasNext()) { deptCount++; Department department = deptIterator.next(); System.out.println("department:" + department.getName()); if (department.getEmployees() != null) { Iterator<Employee> empIterator = department.getEmployees().iterator(); while (empIterator.hasNext()) { empCount++; Employee employee = empIterator.next(); System.out.print(" personnel:" + employee.getName() + " position:" + employee.getPosition() + ","); } System.out.println(); } } System.out.println("Total number of departments:" + deptCount); System.out.println("Total number of employees:" + empCount); //Save company organization structure to file through object flow ObjectOutputStream companyStream = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\company.dat")); companyStream.writeObject(company); companyStream.writeObject(company.getDepartments()); for (int i = 0; i < company.getDepartments().size(); i++) { List<Employee> employees = company.getDepartments().get(i).getEmployees(); companyStream.writeObject(employees); } } }

1. Create a stream of objectsCompany.datfile
2. Write Company objects to files
3. Write the Department list collection in the company object to a file
4. Traverse Department lists and write a collection of employee lists under each department to a file

The resulting files are as follows:

Binary information:

/** * Reading information with object streams * * @author zhuhuix * @date 2020-05-27 */ public class ObjectStreamRead { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException { ObjectInputStream companyStream = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\company.dat")); if (companyStream!=null){ Company company=(Company) companyStream.readObject(); //Traverse company organization structure int deptCount = 0; int empCount = 0; Iterator<Department> deptIterator = company.getDepartments().iterator(); while (deptIterator.hasNext()) { deptCount++; Department department = deptIterator.next(); System.out.println("department:" + department.getName()); if (department.getEmployees() != null) { Iterator<Employee> empIterator = department.getEmployees().iterator(); while (empIterator.hasNext()) { empCount++; Employee employee = empIterator.next(); System.out.print(" personnel:" + employee.getName() + " position:" + employee.getPosition() + ","); } System.out.println(); } } System.out.println("Total number of departments:" + deptCount); System.out.println("Total number of employees:" + empCount); } } }

1. Obtain by Object StreamCompany.datfile
2. Read object information

The output is as follows:

In this article, we use serialization to save collections of objects to disk files and get them as they are stored. We learned the following:

• ObjectOutputStream (OutputStream out) creates an ObjectOutputStream that allows you to write out objects to the specified OutputStream.
• Void writeObject (Object obj) writes the specified object to ObjectOutputStream, which stores the class of the specified object, the signature of the class, and the values of all non-static and non-instantaneous fields in the class and its superclass.
• ObjectInputStream (InputStream in) creates an ObjectInputStream to read object information from the specified InputStream.
• Object readObject() reads an object from ObjectInputStream.In particular, this method reads back the class of the object, the signature of the class, and the values of all non-static and non-instantaneous fields in the class and its superclass.The deserialization it performs allows multiple object references to be recovered.
