winterwell.utils.io.XStreamBinaryConverter

XStream does a good job with most classes, but it is lousy for e.g. matrices, large arrays, images, etc. This class allows you to use a Java {@link Serializable} binary encoding (converted into ascii via a base64encoder). It is activated by the {@link BinaryXML} annotation.

Usage:

WebUtils.xstream.registerConverter(new XStreamBinaryConverter(MyClass.class));

(all serialisation/deserialisation of this class will now use binary)

Legacy issues: binary converters are not compatible with non-binary serialisations of objects. Sorry. @warning Initialisation issues: if you fail to register the converter beforedeserialising, you may get a wrong object back, rather than an exception! @author daniel @testedby {@link XStreamBinaryConverterTest}

    try {
      XStream xstream = new XStream();
      // prettier shorter xml
      XStreamUtils.initShorterXml(xstream);
      // Binary fields
      xstream.registerConverter(new XStreamBinaryConverter());
      // ConcurrentHashMaps
      xstream.registerConverter(new ConcurrentMapConverter());
      // Hack: SQL Timestamps
      xstream.registerConverter(new TimestampConverter());
      return xstream;
