Object serialization example in Scala

Deserialization.scala

import java.io._

@SerialVersionUID(15L)
class Animal(name: String, age: Int) extends Serializable {
  override def toString = s"Animal($name, $age)"
}

case class Person(name: String)

// or fork := true in sbt
class ObjectInputStreamWithCustomClassLoader(
  fileInputStream: FileInputStream
) extends ObjectInputStream(fileInputStream) {
  override def resolveClass(desc: java.io.ObjectStreamClass): Class[_] = {
    try { Class.forName(desc.getName, false, getClass.getClassLoader) }
    catch { case ex: ClassNotFoundException => super.resolveClass(desc) }
  }
}

object MyDeserialize extends App {
  val fis = new FileInputStream("../a.tmp")
  val ois = new ObjectInputStreamWithCustomClassLoader(fis)

  val animal = ois.readObject
  val person = ois.readObject
  ois.close
  println(animal)
  println(person)
}

Serialization.scala

import java.io.FileOutputStream
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream

@SerialVersionUID(15L)
class Animal(name: String, age: Int) extends Serializable {
  override def toString = s"Animal($name, $age)"
}

case class Person(name: String) extends Serializable

object MySerialize extends App {
  val fos = new FileOutputStream("../a.tmp")
  val oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos)

  oos.writeObject(new Animal("Dvorak", 12))
  oos.writeObject(Person("Dijkstra"))
  oos.close
}
