一步步分析Java深拷贝的两种方式-clone和序列化

今天遇到一道面试题，询问深拷贝的两种方法。主要就是clone方法和序列化方法。今天就来分析一下这两种方式如何实现深拷贝。如果想跳过解析的朋友，直奔“重点来了！”寻找答案。

clone方法

例1：我们不妨建立一个Exam对象

考试类Exam.java文件

public class Exam implements Cloneable {

    private int examId;

    private String examName;

    public Exam() {
    }

    public Exam(int examId, String examName) {
        this.examId = examId;
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public int getExamId() {
        return examId;
    }

    public void setExamId(int examId) {
        this.examId = examId;
    }

    public String getExamName() {
        return examName;
    }

    public void setExamName(String examName) {
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    @Override
    protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return super.clone();
    }
}

测试类Main.java

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        Exam exam = new Exam(1, "语文考试");
        Exam cloneExam = (Exam) exam.clone();
        System.out.println(cloneExam != exam);
        System.out.println(cloneExam.equals(exam));
    }
}

控制台输出：

true

false

我们确实拷贝出了另一个对象。equals没有覆写，所以调用的是java.lang.Object中的以下方法：

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
	return (this == obj);
}

例2：假如我们给考试加个监考老师

老师类Teacher.java，不实现Cloneable接口

public class Teacher {

    private String name;

    public Teacher(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

把老师对象作为属性新增到考试类Exam.java中（设置监考老师）

public class Exam implements Cloneable {

    private int examId;

    private String examName;

    private Teacher teacher;

    public Exam() {
    }

    public Exam(int examId, String examName) {
        this.examId = examId;
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public int getExamId() {
        return examId;
    }

    public void setExamId(int examId) {
        this.examId = examId;
    }

    public String getExamName() {
        return examName;
    }

    public void setExamName(String examName) {
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public Teacher getTeacher() {
        return teacher;
    }

    public void setTeacher(Teacher teacher) {
        this.teacher = teacher;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Exam{" +
                "examId=" + examId +
                ", examName='" + examName + '\'' +
                ", teacher=" + teacher +
                '}';
    }

    @Override
    protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return super.clone();
    }
}

改写测试类Main.java

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        Exam exam = new Exam(1, "语文考试");
        Teacher teacher = new Teacher("马老师");
        exam.setTeacher(teacher);
        Exam cloneExam = (Exam) exam.clone();
        System.out.println(cloneExam != exam);
        System.out.println(cloneExam.equals(exam));

        cloneExam.getTeacher().setName("Lily");
        System.out.println(exam.toString());
        System.out.println(cloneExam.toString());
    }
}

控制台输出：

true

false

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='Lily'}}

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='Lily'}}

相信眼尖的朋友已经发现端倪了，详细的分析可见下文“clone方法的存在问题”

clone方法总结：

调用clone方法的前提：

1. 类Exam需要继承java.lang.Cloneable接口。否则代码在运行时报错。

解释：

调用exam.clone()的对象类Exam需要继承Cloneable接口，否则会在代码运行时抛出CloneNotSupportedException异常

1. 类Exam需要覆写父类的clone()方法。否则代码在编译时报错。

解释：

因为clone()在java.lang.Object中是protected访问控制。如果不覆写，exam.clone()这句代码无法编译通过。

clone方法的存在问题：

我们从上述例2中结果中发现，我原本只想将克隆出来的考试的监考老师改为 Lily ,但是把原考试对象的监考老师也修改了，这就十分尴尬了。

阅读java.lang.Object中的clone()方法上的英文注释时有这样一段话：

*** this method creates a new instance of the class of this object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a "deep copy" operation. ***

翻译为：

该方法创建该对象类的新实例，并使用该对象相应字段的内容完全初始化其所有字段，就像通过赋值一样； 字段的内容本身不会被克隆。 因此，此方法执行此对象的“浅复制”，而不是“深复制”操作。

重点来了！使用clone方式实现“深拷贝”

覆写考试类Exam.java的clone()方法

@Override
protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
	Exam exam = (Exam) super.clone();
	if (teacher != null) {
		Teacher teacher = (Teacher) this.teacher.clone();
		exam.setTeacher(teacher);
	}
	return exam;
}

解析

用上述方法，取代return super.clone()的默认实现。同时因为这里调用了teacher.clone()，所以类Teacher也要实现Cloneable接口,覆写clone()方法。

改写老师类Teacher.java

public class Teacher implements Cloneable{

    private String name;

    public Teacher() {
    }

    public Teacher(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Teacher{" +
                "name='" + name + '\'' +
                '}';
    }

    @Override
    protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return super.clone();
    }
}

控制台输出：

true

false

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='马老师'}}

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='Lily'}}

序列化方法

每个对象覆写Cloneable方法也是够麻烦的，接下来的介绍的序列化方法更为简洁。

原理：对象->字节数组（拷贝）->对象

提到序列化，就不得不提到java.lang.Serializable,建议好好阅读一下类上的注释。

静态的序列化“深拷贝”方法（简易版）

public class Util {
    private Util() {}
    public static Object deepCopy(Object exam) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(bs);
        os.writeObject(exam);

        ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(bs.toByteArray());
        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bis);
        return ois.readObject();
    }
}

例1：考试类（无对象成员变量）

考试类对象Exam.java实现Serializable接口

public class Exam implements Serializable {

    private int examId;

    private String examName;

    public Exam() {
    }

    public Exam(int examId, String examName) {
        this.examId = examId;
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public int getExamId() {
        return examId;
    }

    public void setExamId(int examId) {
        this.examId = examId;
    }

    public String getExamName() {
        return examName;
    }

    public void setExamName(String examName) {
        this.examName = examName;
    }

}

测试类Main.java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        Exam exam = new Exam(1, "语文考试");
        Exam copyExam = (Exam) Util.deepCopy(exam);
        System.out.println(copyExam != exam);
        System.out.println(copyExam.equals(exam));
    }
}

控制台输出:

true

false

例2：考试类（含对象成员变量）

老师类Teacher.java

public class Teacher implements Serializable {

    private String name;

    public Teacher() {
    }

    public Teacher(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Teacher{" +
                "name='" + name + '\'' +
                '}';
    }

}

改写Exam.java，新增成员变量teacher

public class Exam implements Serializable {

    private int examId;

    private String examName;

    private Teacher teacher;

    public Exam() {
    }

    public Exam(int examId, String examName) {
        this.examId = examId;
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public int getExamId() {
        return examId;
    }

    public void setExamId(int examId) {
        this.examId = examId;
    }

    public String getExamName() {
        return examName;
    }

    public void setExamName(String examName) {
        this.examName = examName;
    }

    public Teacher getTeacher() {
        return teacher;
    }

    public void setTeacher(Teacher teacher) {
        this.teacher = teacher;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Exam{" +
                "examId=" + examId +
                ", examName='" + examName + '\'' +
                ", teacher=" + teacher +
                '}';
    }
}

改写测试类Main.java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        Exam exam = new Exam(1, "语文考试");
        Teacher teacher = new Teacher("马老师");
        exam.setTeacher(teacher);
        Exam copyExam = (Exam) Util.deepCopy(exam);
        System.out.println(copyExam != exam);
        System.out.println(copyExam.equals(exam));

        copyExam.getTeacher().setName("Lily");
        System.out.println(exam);
        System.out.println(copyExam);
    }
}

控制台输出：

true

false

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='马老师'}}

Exam{examId=1, examName='语文考试', teacher=Teacher{name='Lily'}}

序列化方法总结

调用deepCopy方法的前提：

1. 类Exam需要实现java.lang.Serializable接口。否则代码在运行时报错。

解释：

对象类Exam需要实现java.lang.Serializable接口，否则会在代码执行到os.writeObject(exam)时抛出NotSerializableException异常。

1. Exam中的成员变量类Teacher也需要实现java.lang.Serializable接口。否则在运行时报错。

解释：

当类Exam中包含了成员变量Teacher时，如果只有Exam实现java.lang.Serializable接口，但是Teacher没有实现java.lang.Serializable接口，那么代码执行到os.writeObject(exam)时还是会**抛出NotSerializableException异常。

重点来了！使用泛型实现序列化“深拷贝”方法

public class Util {
    private Util() {}
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public static <T extends Serializable> T deepCopy(T obj) {
        T cloneObj = null;
        try {
            //写入字节流
            ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            ObjectOutputStream obs = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
            obs.writeObject(obj);
            obs.close();

            //分配内存，写入原始对象，生成新对象
            ByteArrayInputStream ios = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
            ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(ios);
            //返回生成的新对象
            cloneObj = (T) ois.readObject();
            ois.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return cloneObj;
    }
}

使用该方法可以在代码编译期检查出没有实现java.lang.Serializable接口的对象。

总结

1. clone()方法要求目标类及其成员变量类都需要实现java.lang.Cloneable接口，并且覆写java.lang.Object的clone()方法。
2. 序列化方法通过静态方法实现，其目标类及其成员变量类都需要实现java.lang.Serializable接口。
