Do we really need a public no-arg constructor for Externalizable? If we do, maybe we should use Serializable instead so we can hide this constructor. I don't like the idea of people creating ObjectId.zeroId() by new ObjectId(). That's not a pattern we should encourage. > @@ -269,4 +280,22 @@ protected ObjectId(final AnyObjectId src) { > public ObjectId toObjectId() { > return this; > } > + > + public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, > + ClassNotFoundException { > + byte[] sha1 = new byte[20]; > + in.read(sha1); > + > + w1 = NB.decodeInt32(sha1, 0); > + w2 = NB.decodeInt32(sha1, 4); > + w3 = NB.decodeInt32(sha1, 8); > + w4 = NB.decodeInt32(sha1, 12); > + w5 = NB.decodeInt32(sha1, 16); > + } > + > + public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException { > + byte[] sha1 = new byte[20]; > + copyRawTo(sha1, 0); > + out.write(sha1); > + } Hmm. I was thinking of just writing the 5 ints out, and reading the 5 ints back in. We're always talking to another Java process. The ints are written in network byte order anyway on a serialization stream. Doing this conversion to a byte[] thrases the caller's per-thread new generation rather hard. I think applications using this type in a serialization stream would expect it to be quick. > diff --git a/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/transport/RemoteConfig.java > b/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/transport/RemoteConfig.java > index 5bbf664..22443b4 100644 > --- a/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/transport/RemoteConfig.java > +++ b/org.spearce.jgit/src/org/spearce/jgit/transport/RemoteConfig.java > + > + public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, > + ClassNotFoundException { > + name = in.readUTF(); > + int items = in.readInt(); > + > + Map<String, Collection<String>> map = new HashMap<String, > Collection<String>>(); > + for (int i = 0; i < items; i++) { > + String key = in.readUTF(); > + String value = in.readUTF(); Why not just serialize the Map in the stream? -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
