Description

When unit testing classes that are going to be invoked remotely, it's important to test that the parameters and return types can be serialized/deserialized properly. What if commons-proxy included a neat little helper class that makes a serialized copy of the parameters of an invocation before passing them to the target object and then makes a serialized copy of the return value before returning it?

public class SerializingInterceptor
{
public Object intercept(Invocation invocation)

{ Object[] argumentsCopy = ( Object[] )serializedCopy(invocation.getArguments()); System.arrayCopy(argumentsCopy,0,invocation.getArguments(),0,argumentsCopy.length); return serializedCopy(invocation.proceed()); }

private Object serializedCopy(Serializable original);
}
