groovy soapUI反序列化

Question

Just started using soapUI and I like it a lot.

In a particular case using REST, I'm receiving serialized object.

I would like :

• to retrieve the serialized byte array and transform it into a Java object

• re-transform the java object into an XML response (using JAXB) so it can be human readable.

Is this feasible?

Answer 1

Be sure to consider using XML serialization (eg XStream ) instead of binary one to avoid version compatibility problems before using the next solution:

1. Import your Java class to SoapUI groovy script ( as described there ) or re-define your Java class in Groovy code with Serializable interface implemented:

    class Person implements Serializable { String name; int age } 

2. Use ObjectInputStream and classLoader to load deserialize objects into object:

    // use your byte array variable instead of yourByteArray input = new ByteArrayInputStream(yourByteArray) // use your object variable instead of yourObject yourObject = null input.withObjectInputStream(getClass().classLoader){ ois -> yourObject = ois.readObject() } 

3. Use ObjectOutputStream to serialize updated objects and save them to an XML response:

    output = new ByteArrayOutputStream() output.withObjectOutputStream { oos -> oos << yourObject } //save serialized data as byte array output.toByteArray()
