Q. Is it possible to make Rhino classes -serializable? -
A. A number of people have asked about making -Rhino data serializable. It certainly seems like it would be useful for -a variety of applications. -
The reason I haven't implemented Serializiable has been that java.lang.Class -is not Serializable, so any functions or scripts that have been compiled -to Java bytecodes can't be serialized. One Rhino embedder suggested that -we could get around this restriction by actually saving the bytecode in -a byte array and then having some mechanism for loading those bytes at -the destination. That would work, but is an extra mechanism beyond standard -serialization and imposes a significant space overhead on all users of -compiled scripts. I'm also curious as to whether that mechanism would be -any faster than simply recompiling from the script source, which would -be significantly smaller than the serialized form. -
It'd be great to have some solutions to the serialization problem, and -I'd certainly be happy to roll changes back into Rhino. -
Perhaps the best solution is to implement some serialization for Rhino's
-interpretive mode and assume for Rhino's compiled mode that the class has
-also been compiled on the receiving end (which is the assumption Java makes).
