[Ljava.lang.Object - How to extract an object stored in GAS PropertiesService












1















I previously stored an object (array) in the Google Apps Script PropertiesService. When trying to retrieve the array I am receiving the returned value of [Ljava.lang.Object;@650dc5f2



I understand now the best way to have done it is probably convert the array to a string using JSON.stringify(["this", "that", 0, 2]) before storing it in the property store.



There are a number of questions on this topic, and the main being this one. It is a java based answer though of which I am unable to find an equivalent of the reflection method.



Is there a way to obtain information that has been previously stored as an array?



var someProperty = ["this", "that", 0, 2]

PropertiesService.getDocumentProperties().setProperty('somekey', someProperty);

var someProperty = PropertiesService.getDocumentProperties().getProperty('somekey');

Logger.log(someProperty); // [Ljava.lang.Object;@650dc5f2
Logger.log(typeof someProperty); // string

    If you can get the original object in java from it's hash, then it's also possible to retrieve back your array. But hashes are usually one-way.

    You saved the array's toString() output instead of properly serializing it. The information is no longer available. Fix your save routine.
