I'm working on a Scala program that uses the Scala Pickling library to serialize and deserialize a Map
object that contains a String
and a Point2D.Double
object from the java.awt.geom
package.
Here's the relevant logic:
contents +=
new Button("Save Config") {
reactions += {
case ButtonClicked(_) => {
var m: Map[String, Point2D.Double] = Map()
nodeFields.foreach(x => {
m += (x._1 -> new Point2D.Double(x._2._1.text.toDouble, x._2._2.text.toDouble))
})
val pkl = m.pickle
fc.showSaveDialog(null)
val outputFile = fc.selectedFile
val writer = new PrintWriter(outputFile)
writer.write(pkl.value)
writer.close()
Dialog.showMessage(null, "Success!")
}
}
}
If you need to see more, here's the commit with the offending logic
As it stands, the JSON formatted string output from pkl.value
is a working serialized Map[String, Point2D.Double]
, except that the values of Point2D.Double
are dropped!
Here's a snippet of the output:
{
"$type": "scala.collection.mutable.Map[java.lang.String,java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]",
"elems": [
{
"$type": "scala.Tuple2[java.lang.String,java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]",
"_1": "BOTTOMLANE\r",
"_2": {
}
},
{
"$type": "scala.Tuple2[java.lang.String,java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]",
"_1": "UPPERLANESECOND_0\r",
"_2": {
}
},
{
"$type": "scala.Tuple2[java.lang.String,java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]",
"_1": "upperSecondTower_1",
"_2": {
}
},
...
]
}
What can I do to fix this?
scala-pickling can not directly pickle/unpickle Point2D.Double
because it has no public fields (the x and y values are accessible through the getX
and getY
getters).
A possible Pickler
/ Unpickler
for Point2D.Double
would be :
object Point2DPickler {
import scala.pickling._
import scala.pickling.Defaults._
import java.awt.geom.Point2D
type DoublePoint = java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double
implicit object Point2DDoublePickle extends Pickler[DoublePoint] with Unpickler[DoublePoint] {
private val doubleUnpickler = implicitly[Unpickler[Double]]
override def tag = FastTypeTag[java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]
override def pickle(point: DoublePoint, builder: PBuilder) = {
builder.beginEntry(point)
builder.putField("x",
b => b.hintTag(FastTypeTag.Double).beginEntry(point.getX).endEntry()
)
builder.putField("y",
b => b.hintTag(FastTypeTag.Double).beginEntry(point.getY).endEntry()
)
builder.endEntry()
}
override def unpickle(tag: String, reader: PReader): DoublePoint = {
val x = doubleUnpickler.unpickleEntry(reader.readField("x")).asInstanceOf[Double]
val y = doubleUnpickler.unpickleEntry(reader.readField("y")).asInstanceOf[Double]
new Point2D.Double(x, y)
}
}
}
Which could be used as :
import scala.pickling.Defaults._
import scala.pickling.json._
import java.awt.geom.Point2D
import Point2DPickler._
val dpoint = new Point2D.Double(1d, 2d)
scala> val json = dpoint.pickle
json: pickling.json.pickleFormat.PickleType =
JSONPickle({
"$type": "java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double",
"x": {
"$type": "scala.Double",
"value": 1.0
},
"y": {
"$type": "scala.Double",
"value": 2.0
}
})
scala> val dpoint2 = json.value.unpickle[java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double]
dpoint2: java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double = Point2D.Double[1.0, 2.0]
