Debugging Serialization Errors

Have you ever looked at a serialization exception and not been able to figure out where the heck an errant object is hiding out? I used to run into this problem all the time as we use serialization for HttpSession replication. Stack traces aren't much help. For example, this one only tells us we have a non-serializable instance of Tee in a List somewhere in our object graph: 
Exception in thread "main" java.io.NotSerializableException: serialization.Main$Tee
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1075)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:291)
  at java.util.ArrayList.writeObject(ArrayList.java:569)
  at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
  at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)     
  at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)
  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)
  at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.invokeWriteObject(ObjectStreamClass.java:890) 
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeSerialData(ObjectOutputStream.java:1333)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeOrdinaryObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:1284)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1073)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteFields(ObjectOutputStream.java:1369)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeSerialData(ObjectOutputStream.java:1341)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeOrdinaryObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:1284)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1073)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteFields(ObjectOutputStream.java:1369)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeSerialData(ObjectOutputStream.java:1341)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeOrdinaryObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:1284)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1073)
  at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:291)
  at serialization.Main.main(Main.java:47)
After exploring numerous options, I've settled on a simple ObjectOutputStream hack which keeps track of the path to the errant object with very little overhead. Now you can wrap serialization exceptions and add more information: 
DebuggingObjectOutputStream out =
    new DebuggingObjectOutputStream(...);
try {
  out.writeObject(...);
} catch (Exception e) {
  throw new RuntimeException(
      "Serialization error. Path to bad object: " 
          + out.getStack(), e);
}
The new exception message is much more helpful: 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Serialization error. 
Path to bad object: [serialization.Main$Foo@94948a, serialization.Main$Bar@a401c2, [serialization.Main$Tee@ff5ea7], serialization.Main$Tee@ff5ea7]
  at serialization.Main.main(Main.java:55)
Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: serialization.Main$Tee
We can now see that Foo references Bar which references a List which contains Tee. In our application, we actually log the type of each object, too, in case the toString() output isn't helpful.

As a few key ObjectOutputStream members are final, I ended up having to access the private depth field and use it in conjunction with replaceObject(): 

import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class DebuggingObjectOutputStream
    extends ObjectOutputStream {

  private static final Field DEPTH_FIELD;
  static {
    try {
      DEPTH_FIELD = ObjectOutputStream.class
          .getDeclaredField("depth");
      DEPTH_FIELD.setAccessible(true);
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
      throw new AssertionError(e);
    }
  }

  final List<Object> stack
      = new ArrayList<Object>();

  /**
   * Indicates whether or not OOS has tried to
   * write an IOException (presumably as the
   * result of a serialization error) to the
   * stream.
   */
  boolean broken = false;

  public DebuggingObjectOutputStream(
      OutputStream out) throws IOException {
    super(out);
    enableReplaceObject(true);
  }

  /**
   * Abuse {@code replaceObject()} as a hook to
   * maintain our stack.
   */
  protected Object replaceObject(Object o) {
    // ObjectOutputStream writes serialization
    // exceptions to the stream. Ignore
    // everything after that so we don't lose
    // the path to a non-serializable object. So
    // long as the user doesn't write an
    // IOException as the root object, we're OK.
    int currentDepth = currentDepth();
    if (o instanceof IOException
        && currentDepth == 0) {
      broken = true;
    }
    if (!broken) {
      truncate(currentDepth);
      stack.add(o);
    }
    return o;
  }

  private void truncate(int depth) {
    while (stack.size() > depth) {
      pop();
    }
  }

  private Object pop() {
    return stack.remove(stack.size() - 1);
  }

  /**
   * Returns a 0-based depth within the object
   * graph of the current object being
   * serialized.
   */
  private int currentDepth() {
    try {
      Integer oneBased
          = ((Integer) DEPTH_FIELD.get(this));
      return oneBased - 1;
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
      throw new AssertionError(e);
    }
  }

  /**
   * Returns the path to the last object
   * serialized. If an exception occurred, this
   * should be the path to the non-serializable
   * object.
   */
  public List<Object> getStack() {
    return stack;
  }
}
I'll see what I can do about building a more secure version of this into ObjectOutputStream in Java 7.

Hey look at that, yer weblog is all fancy n stuff now. I'll try not to deface it with un-fancy comments.

Seeing serialization code of any kind gives me the shivers in much the same way I can imagine a pow might shiver after coming too close to familiar tortures. "Hey we'll just serialize that crucial-to-your-entire-life data using good ol java serial io . No big deal right? If we add serialveruid everything's gonna be just fine. " It was fun building serialization upgrade code into our serialization upgrade code upgrade code.. .. :/

Anyway..Object path stuff sounds good. Anything that moves closer towards ToStringBuilder-ish looking output would be f-ing sweet. (am I crazy or have I been seeing this in the map / list /etc toStrings() in 1.6 ? )

I believe in 1.6 -Dsun.io.serialization.extendedDebugInfo=true will give you extra information in the NotSerializableException message. I haven't actually tried it though.

Disclaimer: I have an unhealthy relationship with serialisation.

Yikes. You should point them to this.

Sweet! Somehow I missed the part that the serialization exception is written to the output stream. That makes it a whole lot easier I promise I'll read the specification better next time and quit making assumptions too early.

A yes, now that I take a look at it again, I remember another issue we wanted to solve, namely that you don't just want to print the stack objects leading to when the exception occurred, but that you also want to provide the field names (which we extended to array positions in case of arrays and lists).

So, while your solution is 10 times more elegant (as it is 10 times smaller) it would miss that for us.

Nice! I've recently migrated an object model to java.io.Serializable. I knew there was a way to find the little buggers!

Nice, today I just wrote a serialization debugging helper class that has an interface like getPathToBadObject(Object root, Predicate{Class} badClassDetector). It returns a pretty human-readable form of the path to a non-serializable or non-desired-to-be-serialized object (some crap that leaked into a data structure), neatly presenting things like links to enclosing instances, anonymous and local classes etc (my most common source of serialization problems). Took me about 2 or 3 hours to make it work REALLY well, but it proved useful immediately.

However, it ignores things like readObject/writeObject because I used it to debug XStream serialization, so I just crawled on fields and arrays, ignoring even the transient modifier.
However, the source is at my work pc, so can't show it now but I think exactly this class it not that confidential: drop me a note to ekirpichov on google mail if you'd like to have a look.

Hi,
I am really feeling hectic of solving the but when a very big stack trace which 100 lines or more and dont give any clue to fix the error. I am not understanding how to recover this with what type of code included in it. Please let me know the code to be written for a stack trace like,

I see this code is licensed under Apache. That's great. Can you tell me which version of the license? 1.0, 2.0?
