These scripts are created to test serialization through Liferay's Scripting console.

## Writing the Liferay Layout

```.groovy
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import com.liferay.portal.service.LayoutServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.model.Layout;
import com.liferay.portal.model.LayoutModel;

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;
ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = null;

try {
	Layout layout = LayoutServiceUtil.getLayouts(20182,false).get(0);
	fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/tmp/Layout-%d.ser", layout.getPlid()));
	objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOutputStream);
	objectOutputStream.writeObject(layout);
	out.println("DONE:");
	out.println(layout);
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
	if (objectOutputStream != null) {
		try {
			objectOutputStream.close();
		} catch (Exception ex) {
			// Ignore
		}
	}
}
```

## Reading Layout

```.groovy
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

FileInputStream fileInputStream = null;
ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = null;
Object object = null;
try {
	fileInputStream = new FileInputStream("/tmp/Layout-20185.ser");
	objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(fileInputStream);
	out.println(objectInputStream.readObject())
} catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
	if (objectInputStream != null) {
		try {
			objectInputStream.close();
		} catch (Exception ex) {
			// Ignore
		}
	}
}
