Re: Serialization of ArrayList resulting in Null Values

I am serializing an arraylist using the following code:

has non-null element values.) Thanks!!!!
Perhaps an issue with the (de)serialization code for the content?
I tried the following, with a String and an Integer in my ArrayList, and
it works, with output:
java.lang.String xxx
java.lang.Integer 3
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class SerialTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException {
// Create an ArrayList with some serializable content
ArrayList l1 = new ArrayList();
l1.add("xxx");
l1.add(new Integer(3));
// Serialize l1 into a byte[]
ByteArrayOutputStream outBytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(outBytes);
out.writeObject(l1);
out.close();
byte[] data = outBytes.toByteArray();
// Deserialize from byte[] into l2
ByteArrayInputStream inBytes = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(inBytes);
ArrayList l2 = (ArrayList)in.readObject();
// Print the content of the deserialized list
for(Object o: l2){
if(o == null){
System.out.println("null");
}else{
System.out.printf("%s %s%n",
o.getClass().getName(),o.toString());
}
}
}
