Java Utililty Methods ByteBuffer Serialize

Object deserialize(ByteBuffer b)
Deserialize an object from a ByteBuffer.

try {
 ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(b.array());
 ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bais);
 return ois.readObject();
} catch (IOException e) {
 throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ce) {
 throw new RuntimeException(ce);
...

T deserialize(ByteBuffer byteBuffer)
deserialize

ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteBuffer.array());
try (ObjectInputStream oip = new ObjectInputStream(bais)) {
 T result = (T) oip.readObject();
 return result;
} catch (IOException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
 throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);

Boolean deserializeBoolean(ByteBuffer buf)
deserialize Boolean

byte bb = buf.get();
return (bb != 0);

T deserializeFromByteBufferNoHeader(ByteBuffer bytes)
deserialize From Byte Buffer No Header

ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(newInputStream(bytes)) {
 @Override
 protected void readStreamHeader() throws IOException {
};
try {
 T value = deserializeFromStream(in);
 if (in.read() != -1) {
...

Object deserializeObject(ByteBuffer obj)
This method deserializes an object stored in byte buffer form.

byte[] objAsByteArray = new byte[obj.limit()];
obj.get(objAsByteArray);
ByteArrayInputStream byteInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(objAsByteArray);
ObjectInputStream objInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(byteInputStream);
Object result = objInputStream.readObject();
objInputStream.close();
return result;

void serializeBigDecimal(BigDecimal bd, ByteBuffer buf)
Serialize the java.math.BigDecimal BigDecimal to Volt's fixed precision and scale 16-byte format.

if (bd == null) {
 serializeNull(buf);
 return;
final int scale = bd.scale();
final int precision = bd.precision();
if (scale > 12) {
 throw new RuntimeException("Scale of " + bd + " is " + scale + " and the max is 12");
...

void serializeNull(ByteBuffer buf)
Serialize the null decimal sigil to a the provided java.nio.ByteBuffer ByteBuffer

buf.put(NULL_INDICATOR);

void serializeString(final String value, ByteBuffer buffer)
serialize String

if (value == null)
 writeSize(-1, buffer);
else {
 final int len = value.length();
 writeSize(len, buffer);
 buffer.put(value.getBytes()); 

void serializeStringArray(ByteBuffer buf, String[] strArray)
serialize String Array

if (strArray == null || strArray.length == 0) {
 buf.putInt(0);
 return;
buf.putInt(strArray.length);
for (int i = 0; i < strArray.length; i++) {
 serializeString(buf, strArray[i]);
