Wrapp

Simple class wrapper featuring deep field invoking.

Wrapp is based on Java 8 MethodHandles for maximum performance. It allows you to wrap a whole class (and it's superclasses) to one simple Wrapper<T> class which is Serializable.

That allows you to create Serializable versions of classes, serialize them and then deserialize them using existing object instance.

Usage

// Create reusable wrapper factory
WrapperFactory wrapperFactory = new WrapperFactory();
// Register (optionally) classes for faster field reading
wrapperFactory.register(TestClass.class);
// Create an instance (TestClass is NOT serializable)
TestClass testClass = new TestClass("Something");
// Write it! (Wrapper<T> IS serializable)
Wrapper<TestClass> wrapper = wrapperFactory.write(testClass);
// Then you can read it from existing wrapper
TestClass otherInstance = new TestClass("Nothing");
wrapperFactory.read(wrapper, otherInstance);

System.out.println(otherInstance.getTestString());
// Output: Something
