Class ValidatingObjectInputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.DataInput, java.io.ObjectInput, java.io.ObjectStreamConstants, java.lang.AutoCloseable

    public class ValidatingObjectInputStream
    extends java.io.ObjectInputStream
    An ObjectInputStream that's restricted to deserialize a limited set of classes.

    Various accept/reject methods allow for specifying which classes can be deserialized.

    Design inspired by IBM DeveloperWorks Article.

      • ValidatingObjectInputStream

        public ValidatingObjectInputStream​(java.io.InputStream input)
                                    throws java.io.IOException
        Constructs an object to deserialize the specified input stream. At least one accept method needs to be called to specify which classes can be deserialized, as by default no classes are accepted.
        Parameters:
        input - an input stream
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs while reading stream header
