java clone方法使用详解

http://tuzki.us  我们都是兔斯基

 

----------------------------------------我是小小分割线--------------------------------

 

Java语言的一个优点就是取消了指针的概念，但也导致了许多程序员在编程中常常忽略了对象与引用的区别，特别是先学c、c++后学java的程序员。并且由于Java不能通过简单的赋值来解决对象复制的问题，在开发过程中，也常常要要应用clone（）方法来复制对象。比如函数参数类型是自定义的类时，此时便是引用传递而不是值传递。以下是一个小例子：

public class A {
	public String name;
}

 

public class testClone {
	
	public void changeA(A a){
		a.name="b";
	}
	public void changInt(int i){
		i=i*2+100;
	}
	
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		testClone test=new testClone();
		A a=new A();
		a.name="a";
		System.out.println("before change : a.name="+a.name);
		test.changeA(a);
		System.out.println("after  change : a.name="+a.name);
		int i=1;
		System.out.println("before change : i="+i);
		test.changInt(i);
		System.out.println("after  change : i="+i);
	}

}

此时输出的结果是：

before change : a.name=a
after  change : a.name=b
before change : i=1
after  change : i=1

从这个例子知道Java对对象和基本的数据类型的处理是不一样的。在Java中用对象的作为入口参数的传递则缺省为"引用传递"，也就是说仅仅传递了对象的一个"引用"，这个"引用"的概念同C语言中的指针引用是一样的。当函数体内部对输入变量改变时，实质上就是在对这个对象的直接操作。
除了在函数传值的时候是"引用传递"，在任何用"＝"向对象变量赋值的时候都是"引用传递"，如：

		A a1=new A();
		A a2=new A();
		a1.name="a1";
		a2=a1;
		a2.name="a2";
		System.out.println("a1.name="+a1.name);
		System.out.println("a2.name="+a2.name);

此时输出的结果是：

a1.name=a2
a2.name=a2

如果我们要用a2保存a1对象的数据，但又不希望a2对象数据被改变时不影响到a1。实现clone（）方法是其一种最简单，也是最高效的手段。
下面我们来实现A的clone方法

public class A implements Cloneable {
	public String name;

	public Object clone() {
		A o = null;
		try {
			o = (A) super.clone();
		} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return o;
	}

}

首先要实现Cloneable接口，然后在重载clone方法，最后在clone()方法中调用了super.clone()，这也意味着无论clone类的继承结构是什么样的，super.clone()直接或间接调用了java.lang.Object类的clone()方法。

		A a1=new A();
		A a2=new A();
		a1.name="a1";
		a2=a1;
		a2.name="a2";
		System.out.println("a1.name="+a1.name);
		System.out.println("a2.name="+a2.name);

此时输出的结果是：

a1.name=a1
a2.name=a2

当Class A成员变量类型是java的基本类型时（外加String类型）,只要实现如上简单的clone（称影子clone）就可以。但是如果Class A成员变量是数组或复杂类型时，就必须实现深度clone。

public class A implements Cloneable {
	public String name[];
	
	public A(){
		name=new String[2];
	}

	public Object clone() {
		A o = null;
		try {
			o = (A) super.clone();
		} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return o;
	}
}

测试代码

A a1=new A();
A a2=new A();
a1.name[0]="a";
a1.name[1]="1";
a2=(A)a1.clone();
a2.name[0]="b";
a2.name[1]="1";
System.out.println("a1.name="+a1.name);
System.out.println("a1.name="+a1.name[0]+a1.name[1]);
System.out.println("a2.name="+a2.name);
System.out.println("a2.name="+a2.name[0]+a2.name[1]);

输出结果：

a1.name=[Ljava.lang.String;@757aef
a1.name=b1
a2.name=[Ljava.lang.String;@757aef
a2.name=b1

看到了吧，a1.name,a2.name的hash值都是@757aef,也就是说影子clone对name数组只是clone他们的地址！解决该办法是进行深度clone。

public Object clone() {
		A o = null;
		try {
			o = (A) super.clone();
            o.name=(String[])name.clone();//其实也很简单^_^
		} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return o;
	}

此时输出结果是：

a1.name=[Ljava.lang.String;@757aef
a1.name=a1
a2.name=[Ljava.lang.String;@d9f9c3
a2.name=b1

需要注意的是Class A存在更为复杂的成员变量时，如Vector等存储对象地址的容器时，就必须clone彻底。

public class A implements Cloneable {
	public String name[];
	public Vector<B> claB;
	
	public A(){
		name=new String[2];
		claB=new Vector<B>();
	}

	public Object clone() {
		A o = null;
		try {
			o = (A) super.clone();
            o.name==(String[])name.clone();//深度clone
            o.claB=new Vector<B>();//将clone进行到底
            for(int i=0;i<claB.size();i++){
	            B temp=(B)claB.get(i).clone();//当然Class B也要实现相应clone方法
	            o.claB.add(temp);
		    }
		} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
				return o;
	}
}

整体不错，不过笔误较多！
文中
public class A implements Cloneable { 
    public String name; 
 
    public Object clone() { 
        A o = null; 
        try { 
            o = (A) super.clone(); 
        } catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) { 
            e.printStackTrace(); 
        } 
        return o; 
    } 
 
} 这里name作为类的属性，应该设置private权限，而不是public String name，要符合封装性，而且设置set与get方法，否则下面测试类a1.name=“a1”也会编译出错的！

这里的a2=a1应该要写成：a2 = a1.clone()
另外，A a2=new A()这么写不好，应该写成A a2 = null;

结果和你的根本不一样，骗人了不是
a1.name=a2
a2.name=a2

序列化与反序列化　深度克隆

   
 private static Object cloneObject(Object obj) throws Exception{
        ByteArrayOutputStream  byteOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();  
        ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(byteOut);  
        out.writeObject(obj);         
        ByteArrayInputStream byteIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteOut.toByteArray());  
        ObjectInputStream in =new ObjectInputStream(byteIn);        
        return in.readObject();
}

Your deep clone coding is also not correct.
The correct coding should be:

public class A implements Cloneable {
public String name;
public String[] group = new String[2];


public Object clone() {
A o = null;
try {
o = (A) super.clone();
o.group = (String[])group.clone();
} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return o;
}

}

just you said ,it's wrong.
thank you for kind reply

A a1=new A();
A a2=new A();
a1.name="a1";
a2=a1;
a2.name="a2";
System.out.println("a1.name="+a1.name);
System.out.println("a2.name="+a2.name);
result:
a1.name=a2
a2.name=a2

Obviously, It is not correct. Pls confirm whether you copy error coding.The sentence "a2=(A)a1.clone();" should be used, instead "a2=a1;"

i don't think so.
My example is in the case:
除了在函数传值的时候是"引用传递"，在任何用"＝"向对象变量赋值的时候都是"引用传递"
not in clone

Why Clone
Suppose you have an object ‘a’ of class ‘A’. Sometimes you may need another new object ‘b’. It also belongs to class ‘A’ and has the same data with object ‘a’. But if you do some modification on b, it has no effect to the value of ‘a’. We call this process which produced new object ‘b’ as clone object ‘a’. The commonest time that you need to clone an object is when it is a parameter or return value of one of your public methods. If it is a parameter that you save somewhere, then you don't want the caller to be able to modify it later. So you save a copy of the object. Likewise, if you are returning an object that is part of your class's internal state, you need to return a copy instead so that callers can't accidentally or deliberately change that internal state.

Conventions of clone
1. x.clone() !=  x                                                 // x.clone() will return a new object
2. x.clone().equals(x)                                          // this is the meaning of ‘copy’
3. x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
4. The object returned by clone method should be independent of the object (which is 
    being cloned).

These are not absolute requirements but are general intends of clone method which is also recommended in Java Documents.

How to write clone method
By convention, the approach of writing clone method is:

      1.      Implements Cloneable interface

            This approach ensures your clone method can directly or indirectly call Object.clone(). Otherwise, calling Object.clone() will throws CloneNotSupportedException. Why we need to call Object.clone() in our clone method? Please see approach 2.2.

      2.      Override the clone method

            2.1     Make the clone method to public method

                  Please be noted that the clone method type of Object class is:

          protected Object clone()
                throws CloneNotSupportedException
In order to support other class can use our clone method, we should define it as public method.

            2.2     Call super.clone() to produce the new object

                  By convention, the object returned by clone method should be obtained by calling super.clone (this means it’s better to produce the new object by super.clone() than directly use “new” operator). If a class and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().

                  Key point: why we should use super.clone() to produce the new object instead of directly use “new” operator?

                        v       First of all, if all classes obey this convention, our clone method will directly or indirectly call Object.clone method. This method is a native method, it will be more efficient than directly “new” an object.

                        v       Secondly, Object.clone method can recognize the class type which called the clone method using RTTI mechanism. And it will return the new object which has the correct class type. For example:

                              class A implements Cloneable
                              class B extends A implements Cloneable {

                                                        public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException{
                                                                B b = null;
      
                                                                b = (B) super.clone();  // It seems that super.clone() is  

                                                                                                //A.clone(), so it will return an

                                                                                                 //object of Class A. This is incorrect.

                                                                                                 //If the clone method of class A calls

                                                                                                 //super.clone method too, it will

                                                                                                //return a new object belongs to

                                                                                                //class B. Thus, we can cast it to

                                                                                                //class B. This is the benefit of

                                                                                                //Object.clone().
                                                                return b;
                                                }
                                        }
                                        Now, let’s consider another case, if we write clone method of class A like this:

                                        class A {
                                                public Object clone() {
                                                A a = null;
                                                a = new A();
                                                // Then do some copy data operation.
                                                         return a;
                                        }
                                        }
When B.clone() calls super.clone(),unfortunately we can only get the object whose class is A. And we can’t cast the new object to class B since B is a subclass of A.

That’s why it’s strongly recommended that clone method of all classes obey the convention that obtained the new object by calling super.clone().

            2.3     Clone members

                  There are two cases: If the member supports clone, it’s better to call the clone method of the member to return a copy object of this member. If the member doesn’t support clone, you should create a new object which is the copy of the member. After this approach, it will be ensured that x.clone.equals(x) and x.clone() is independent with x.

Examples
/**
* class B support clone
* @author xzhu2
*
*/
class B implements Cloneable {
        private int intMember;
      
        public B(int i) {
                intMember = i;
        }
      
        public void setIntMember(int i) {
                intMember = i;
        }
      
        public Object clone()
                 throws CloneNotSupportedException {
                B clonedObject = null;
              
                // Firstly, call super.clone to return new object
                clonedObject = (B)super.clone();
              
                // Secondly, clone member here
                clonedObject.setIntMember(intMember);
              
                // The end, return new object
                return clonedObject;
        }
}

/**

class C {
        private int intMember;
      
        public C(int i) {
                intMember = i;

                // For basic type member, directly set it to clonedObject     
                // Because basic type parameter passes value. Modify
                // clonedObject.intMember can not effect the intMember
                // of itself.
                clonedObject.setIntMember(intMember);
                // For immutable member, directly set it to clonedObject.
                // Becasue we can not change the value of immutable
            // variable once it was setted.
                clonedObject.setStringMember(stringMember);
                // For member which support clone, we just clone it and
                // set the return object to the member of new object.
                B clonedB = (B)supportCloneMember.clone();
                clonedObject.setB(clonedB);
                // For member which do not support clone, we need to create
                // new object.
                C clonedC = new C(notSupportCloneMember.getIntMember());
