kryo list serialization

java list serialization constructor kryo
MAZDAK picture MAZDAK · Jan 22, 2013 · Viewed 9.8k times · Source

I am trying to serialize a List of List of some objects (of a customized class: List> ), using Kryo. 

list2D; // List<List<MyClass>> which is already produced.

Kryo k1 = new Kryo();
Output output = new Output(new FileOutputStream("filename.ser"));
k1.writeObject(output, (List<List<Myclass>>) list2D);
output.close();

So far no problem, it writes out the list with no errors. But when I try to read it: 

Kryo k2 = new Kryo();
Input listRead = new Input(new FileInputStream("filename.ser"));
List<List<Myclass>> my2DList = (List<List<Myclass>>) k2.readObject(listRead,  List.class);

I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" com.esotericsoftware.kryo.KryoException: Class cannot be created (missing no-arg constructor): java.util.List

How can I solve this problem?

You can't use List.class when read objects back, since List is an interface. 

k2.readObject(listRead,  ArrayList.class);
