Serialize a Java object to Java code?

Question

Is there an implementation that will serialize a Java object as Java code? For example, if I have the object

Map m = new Map

        

Answer 1

I implemented this functionality in a new github project. You can find the project here:

https://github.com/ManuelB/java-bean-to-code-serializer

The project does not have any external dependencies except junit.

Currently it is not supporting arrays for serialization yet. Nevertheless there is already a lot of functionalities:

        Object2CodeObjectOutputStream object2CodeObjectOutputStream = new Object2CodeObjectOutputStream(
            byteArrayOutputStream);
        object2CodeObjectOutputStream.writeObject();
        System.out.println(
                byteArrayOutputStream.toString());
