Olingo分析和实践——EDM 辅助序列化器详解

概念与定义

什么是 EDM 辅助序列化器？

EDM 辅助序列化器（EdmAssistedSerializer）是 Apache Olingo OData 框架中的一种特殊序列化器，专门设计用于在缺少完整 EDM（实体数据模型）信息的情况下进行数据序列化。

核心概念

• EDM（Entity Data Model）: OData 服务的元数据模型，定义了实体类型、属性、关系等
• 辅助（Assisted）: 表示该序列化器可以在没有完整 EDM 信息的情况下工作
• 智能推断: 能够根据数据本身推断出类型和结构信息

设计目标

---

核心特点

1. EDM 信息可选

// 可以在没有 EDM 信息的情况下工作
EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);

// 如果有 EDM 信息，会利用它进行验证和优化
SerializerResult result = serializer.entityCollection(
    metadata,           // 可选的 ServiceMetadata
    null,              // 可选的 EdmEntityType
    entityCollection,  // 必需的数据
    options           // 序列化选项
);

2. 智能类型推断

// 自动推断数据类型
Entity entity = new Entity();
entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "Name", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "John"));
entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "Age", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 25));
entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "Salary", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 50000.50));
entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "IsActive", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, true));

// 序列化器会自动推断：
// Name -> String
// Age -> Integer  
// Salary -> Double
// IsActive -> Boolean

3. 版本感知

// 支持不同 OData 版本
List<String> versions = Arrays.asList("4.01", "4.0");
EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON, versions);

// 根据版本自动选择合适的常量和行为
// v4.0: 使用 Constantsv00
// v4.01+: 使用 Constantsv01

4. 元数据级别控制

// 不同的元数据级别
EdmAssistedSerializer noMetadata = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON_NO_METADATA);

EdmAssistedSerializer minimalMetadata = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON);

EdmAssistedSerializer fullMetadata = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON_FULL_METADATA);

工作原理

序列化流程

类型推断机制

// 类型推断示例
public class TypeInferenceExample {
    
    public void demonstrateTypeInference() {
        Entity entity = new Entity();
        
        // 字符串类型推断
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "stringProp", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "Hello"));
        // 输出: "stringProp": "Hello"
        
        // 数值类型推断
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "intProp", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 42));
        // 输出: "intProp@odata.type": "#Int32", "intProp": 42
        
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "doubleProp", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 3.14));
        // 输出: "doubleProp@odata.type": "#Double", "doubleProp": 3.14
        
        // 布尔类型推断
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "boolProp", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, true));
        // 输出: "boolProp": true
        
        // 日期类型推断
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "dateProp", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 
            Calendar.getInstance()));
        // 输出: "dateProp@odata.type": "#DateTimeOffset", "dateProp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
        
        // 复杂类型推断
        ComplexValue address = new ComplexValue();
        address.getValue().add(new Property(null, "Street", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "Main St"));
        address.getValue().add(new Property(null, "City", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "Seattle"));
        entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "Address", ValueType.COMPLEX, address));
        // 输出: "Address": { "Street": "Main St", "City": "Seattle" }
    }
}

        EdmEntityType referencedEntityType,
        AbstractEntityCollection entityCollection, 
        EdmAssistedSerializerOptions options
    ) throws SerializerException;
}

实现类分析

public class EdmAssistedJsonSerializer implements EdmAssistedSerializer {
    
    // 关键字段
    private final boolean isIEEE754Compatible;    // IEEE754 兼容性
    private final boolean isODataMetadataNone;    // 无元数据模式
    private final boolean isODataMetadataFull;    // 完整元数据模式
    private final IConstants constants;           // 版本常量
    
    // 构造函数
    public EdmAssistedJsonSerializer(final ContentType contentType) {
        this.isIEEE754Compatible = ContentTypeHelper.isODataIEEE754Compatible(contentType);
        this.isODataMetadataNone = ContentTypeHelper.isODataMetadataNone(contentType);
        this.isODataMetadataFull = ContentTypeHelper.isODataMetadataFull(contentType);
        this.constants = new Constantsv00();
    }
    
    // 版本感知构造函数

    private ContextURL contextURL;
    
    public static Builder with() {
        return new Builder();
    }
    
    public static final class Builder {
        private final EdmAssistedSerializerOptions options;
        
        private Builder() {
            options = new EdmAssistedSerializerOptions();
        }
        
        public Builder contextURL(final ContextURL contextURL) {
            options.contextURL = contextURL;
            return this;
        }

使用场景

1. 快速原型开发

场景描述: 在项目初期，需要快速验证 OData 接口设计，但还没有完整的 EDM 模型。

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/prototype")
public class PrototypeController {
    
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    
    @GetMapping("/users")
    public ResponseEntity<String> getUsers() throws SerializerException, IOException {
        // 快速创建测试数据，无需预定义 EDM
        EntityCollection users = new EntityCollection();
        
        // 用户1
        Entity user1 = new Entity();
        user1.addProperty(new Property(null, "Id", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 1));
        user1.addProperty(new Property(null, "Name", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "Alice"));
        user1.addProperty(new Property(null, "Email", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "alice@example.com"));
        user1.addProperty(new Property(null, "Age", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 28));
        user1.addProperty(new Property(null, "IsActive", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, true));
        users.getEntities().add(user1);
        
        // 用户2
        Entity user2 = new Entity();
        user2.addProperty(new Property(null, "Id", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 2));
        user2.addProperty(new Property(null, "Name", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "Bob"));
        user2.addProperty(new Property(null, "Email", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, "bob@example.com"));
        user2.addProperty(new Property(null, "Age", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 35));
        user2.addProperty(new Property(null, "IsActive", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, false));
        users.getEntities().add(user2);
        
        // 使用 EDM 辅助序列化器
        EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(
            ContentType.JSON_FULL_METADATA);
            
        ContextURL contextURL = ContextURL.with()
            .entitySet("Users")
            .selectList("Id,Name,Email,Age,IsActive")
            .build();
            
        EdmAssistedSerializerOptions options = EdmAssistedSerializerOptions.with()
            .contextURL(contextURL)
            .build();
        
        SerializerResult result = serializer.entityCollection(
            null, null, users, options);
        
        return ResponseEntity.ok()
            .contentType(MediaType.parseMediaType("application/json"))
            .body(IOUtils.toString(result.getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    }
}

输出结果:

{
  "@odata.context": "$metadata#Users(Id,Name,Email,Age,IsActive)",
  "value": [
    {
      "@odata.id": null,
      "Id@odata.type": "#Int32",
      "Id": 1,
      "Name": "Alice",
      "Email": "alice@example.com",
      "Age@odata.type": "#Int32",
      "Age": 28,
      "IsActive": true
    },
    {
      "@odata.id": null,
      "Id@odata.type": "#Int32",
      "Id": 2,
      "Name": "Bob",
      "Email": "bob@example.com",
      "Age@odata.type": "#Int32",
      "Age": 35,
      "IsActive": false
    }
  ]
}

2. 动态数据源集成

场景描述: 从外部数据库或 API 动态获取数据，数据结构可能会变化。

@Service
public class DynamicDataService {
    
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    private final JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;
    
    public DynamicDataService(JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate) {
        this.jdbcTemplate = jdbcTemplate;
    }
    
    /**
     * 动态查询任意表格数据并序列化为 OData 格式
     */
    public String queryTableAsOData(String tableName, List<String> columns) 
            throws SerializerException, IOException {
        
        // 构建动态 SQL
        String sql = "SELECT " + String.join(", ", columns) + " FROM " + tableName;
        
        // 执行查询
        List<Map<String, Object>> rows = jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql);
        
        // 转换为 OData 实体集合
        EntityCollection entities = new EntityCollection();
        
        for (Map<String, Object> row : rows) {
            Entity entity = new Entity();
            
            for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : row.entrySet()) {
                String columnName = entry.getKey();
                Object value = entry.getValue();
                
                // 动态确定值类型
                ValueType valueType = determineValueType(value);
                entity.addProperty(new Property(null, columnName, valueType, value));
            }
            
            entities.getEntities().add(entity);
        }
        
        // 使用 EDM 辅助序列化器
        EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(
            ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
            
        ContextURL contextURL = ContextURL.with()
            .entitySet(tableName)
            .selectList(String.join(",", columns))
            .build();
            
        EdmAssistedSerializerOptions options = EdmAssistedSerializerOptions.with()
            .contextURL(contextURL)
            .build();
        
        SerializerResult result = serializer.entityCollection(
            null, null, entities, options);
        
        return IOUtils.toString(result.getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    }
    
    private ValueType determineValueType(Object value) {
        if (value == null) return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
        
        if (value instanceof String) return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
        if (value instanceof Number) return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
        if (value instanceof Boolean) return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
        if (value instanceof Date || value instanceof Calendar) return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
        if (value instanceof Map) return ValueType.COMPLEX;
        if (value instanceof Collection) return ValueType.COLLECTION_PRIMITIVE;
        
        return ValueType.PRIMITIVE;
    }
}

3. 数据转换管道

场景描述: 在数据集成管道中，需要将不同格式的数据统一转换为 OData 格式。

@Component
public class DataTransformationPipeline {
    
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    
    /**
     * 将 CSV 数据转换为 OData JSON 格式
     */
    public String transformCsvToOData(String csvContent, String entitySetName) 
            throws SerializerException, IOException {
        
        String[] lines = csvContent.split("\n");
        if (lines.length < 2) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("CSV must have at least header and one data row");
        }
        
        // 解析表头
        String[] headers = lines[0].split(",");
        
        EntityCollection entities = new EntityCollection();
        
        // 解析数据行
        for (int i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
            String[] values = lines[i].split(",");
            Entity entity = new Entity();
            
            for (int j = 0; j < headers.length && j < values.length; j++) {
                String header = headers[j].trim();
                String value = values[j].trim();
                
                // 尝试推断类型并转换
                Object typedValue = parseValue(value);
                entity.addProperty(new Property(null, header, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, typedValue));
            }
            
            entities.getEntities().add(entity);
        }
        
        return serializeToOData(entities, entitySetName);
    }
    
    /**
     * 将 JSON 数组转换为 OData 格式
     */
    public String transformJsonArrayToOData(String jsonArray, String entitySetName) 
            throws SerializerException, IOException {
        
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

                new TypeReference<List<Map<String, Object>>>() {});
            
            EntityCollection entities = new EntityCollection();
            
            for (Map<String, Object> dataMap : dataList) {
                Entity entity = new Entity();
                
                for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : dataMap.entrySet()) {
                    String key = entry.getKey();

4. 微服务数据聚合

场景描述: 从多个微服务聚合数据，各服务的数据格式可能不同。

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/aggregation")
public class DataAggregationController {
    
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    
    @Autowired
    private UserService userService;
    
    @Autowired
    private OrderService orderService;
    
    @Autowired
    private ProductService productService;

最佳实践

1. 选择合适的元数据级别

public class MetadataBestPractices {
    
    // 生产环境 - 使用最小元数据以减少带宽
    public EdmAssistedSerializer createProductionSerializer() throws SerializerException {
        OData odata = OData.newInstance();
        return odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON);
    }
    
    // 开发和调试 - 使用完整元数据便于调试
    public EdmAssistedSerializer createDevelopmentSerializer() throws SerializerException {
        OData odata = OData.newInstance();
        return odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON_FULL_METADATA);
    }
    
    // 性能敏感场景 - 使用无元数据
    public EdmAssistedSerializer createPerformanceSerializer() throws SerializerException {
        OData odata = OData.newInstance();
        return odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(ContentType.JSON_NO_METADATA);
    }
}

2. 版本管理策略

public class VersionManagementBestPractices {
    
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    
    // 支持多版本的通用方法
    public EdmAssistedSerializer createVersionAwareSerializer(
            ContentType contentType, String clientVersion) throws SerializerException {
        
        List<String> supportedVersions = determineSupportedVersions(clientVersion);
        return odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(contentType, supportedVersions);
    }
    
    private List<String> determineSupportedVersions(String clientVersion) {
        List<String> versions = new ArrayList<>();
        
        if (clientVersion != null && clientVersion.startsWith("4.01")) {
            versions.add("4.01");
            versions.add("4.0");  // 向后兼容
        } else {
            versions.add("4.0");
        }
        
        return versions;
    }
}

3. 性能优化

public class PerformanceOptimization {
    
    // 序列化器复用
    private final Map<String, EdmAssistedSerializer> serializerCache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
    private final OData odata = OData.newInstance();
    
    public EdmAssistedSerializer getCachedSerializer(ContentType contentType, List<String> versions) 
            throws SerializerException {
        
        String key = contentType.toContentTypeString() + "_" + 
            (versions != null ? String.join(",", versions) : "default");
        
        return serializerCache.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> {
            try {
                return versions != null && !versions.isEmpty() 
                    ? odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(contentType, versions)
                    : odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(contentType);
            } catch (SerializerException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create serializer", e);
            }
        });
    }
    
    // 批量序列化优化
    public String serializeLargeDataset(List<Entity> entities, String entitySetName) 
            throws SerializerException, IOException {
        
        EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = getCachedSerializer(
            ContentType.JSON_NO_METADATA, null);
        
        // 分批处理大数据集
        int batchSize = 1000;
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        result.append("{\"value\":[");
        
        for (int i = 0; i < entities.size(); i += batchSize) {
            int endIndex = Math.min(i + batchSize, entities.size());
            List<Entity> batch = entities.subList(i, endIndex);
            
            EntityCollection batchCollection = new EntityCollection();
            batchCollection.getEntities().addAll(batch);
            
            SerializerResult batchResult = serializer.entityCollection(
                null, null, batchCollection, null);
            
            String batchJson = IOUtils.toString(batchResult.getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
            
            // 提取值数组部分
            if (i > 0) result.append(",");
            // 处理批次JSON...
        }
        
        result.append("]}");
        return result.toString();
    }
}

4. 类型安全

public class TypeSafetyBestPractices {
    
    // 使用类型安全的属性创建器
    public static class PropertyBuilder {
        
        public static Property createStringProperty(String name, String value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createIntProperty(String name, Integer value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createDoubleProperty(String name, Double value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createBooleanProperty(String name, Boolean value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createDateProperty(String name, Date value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createComplexProperty(String name, ComplexValue value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.COMPLEX, value);
        }
        
        public static Property createCollectionProperty(String name, Collection<?> value) {
            return new Property(null, name, ValueType.COLLECTION_PRIMITIVE, value);
        }
    }
    
    // 使用示例
    public Entity createTypeSafeEntity() {
        Entity entity = new Entity();
        
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createStringProperty("Name", "John Doe"));
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createIntProperty("Age", 30));
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createDoubleProperty("Salary", 75000.0));
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createBooleanProperty("IsActive", true));
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createDateProperty("HireDate", new Date()));
        
        return entity;
    }
}

常见问题

Q1: EDM 辅助序列化器与标准序列化器的性能差异有多大？

A: 在大多数场景下，性能差异在 10-20% 之间。主要开销来自运行时类型推断。

public class PerformanceComparison {
    
    @Test
    public void comparePerformance() throws Exception {
        // 准备测试数据
        EntityCollection testData = createLargeTestDataset(10000);
        
        // 测试标准序列化器
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        ODataSerializer standardSerializer = odata.createSerializer(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        // ... 序列化逻辑
        long standardTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        
        // 测试 EDM 辅助序列化器
        startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        EdmAssistedSerializer assistedSerializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(
            ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        // ... 序列化逻辑
        long assistedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
        
        System.out.println("Standard serializer: " + standardTime + "ms");
        System.out.println("Assisted serializer: " + assistedTime + "ms");
        System.out.println("Performance ratio: " + ((double)assistedTime / standardTime));
    }
}

Q2: 如何处理循环引用？

A: EDM 辅助序列化器不会自动处理循环引用，需要在创建数据时避免。

public class CircularReferenceHandling {
    
    public Entity createEntityWithoutCircularRef(User user, Set<String> processedIds) {
        if (processedIds.contains(user.getId())) {
            // 创建引用实体，避免循环
            Entity refEntity = new Entity();
            refEntity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createStringProperty("Id", user.getId()));
            refEntity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createStringProperty("Name", user.getName()));
            return refEntity;
        }
        
        processedIds.add(user.getId());
        
        Entity entity = new Entity();
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createStringProperty("Id", user.getId()));
        entity.addProperty(PropertyBuilder.createStringProperty("Name", user.getName()));
        
        // 安全地添加关联实体
        if (user.getManager() != null) {
            Entity managerEntity = createEntityWithoutCircularRef(user.getManager(), processedIds);
            entity.addProperty(new Property(null, "Manager", ValueType.COMPLEX, 
                convertEntityToComplexValue(managerEntity)));
        }
        
        return entity;
    }
}

Q3: 如何优化大数据集的序列化？

A: 使用流式处理和分批序列化：

public class LargeDatasetOptimization {
    
    public void streamLargeDataset(Iterator<Entity> entityIterator, OutputStream outputStream) 
            throws IOException, SerializerException {
        
        JsonGenerator jsonGenerator = new JsonFactory().createGenerator(outputStream);
        jsonGenerator.writeStartObject();
        jsonGenerator.writeArrayFieldStart("value");
        
        EdmAssistedSerializer serializer = odata.createEdmAssistedSerializer(
            ContentType.JSON_NO_METADATA);
        
        while (entityIterator.hasNext()) {
            Entity entity = entityIterator.next();
            EntityCollection singleEntityCollection = new EntityCollection();
            singleEntityCollection.getEntities().add(entity);
            
            SerializerResult result = serializer.entityCollection(
                null, null, singleEntityCollection, null);
            
            // 直接写入流，避免内存积累
            IOUtils.copy(result.getContent(), outputStream);
            
            if (entityIterator.hasNext()) {
                jsonGenerator.writeRaw(",");
            }
        }
        
        jsonGenerator.writeEndArray();
        jsonGenerator.writeEndObject();
        jsonGenerator.close();
    }
}
