I keep getting NotSerializableException and "failed getting

[itchytoes]

Hi -- I have this class that I am trying to put into the TreeCache. It is a static class defined within another class. It implements Externalizable. I keep getting NotSerializableException errors about the class which contains this static class. I cannot figure out why because the containing class is not being put into the TreeCache.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Can you post the stack trace? The code for your static class would be good as well.

You're right, you should be able to serialize an instance of static member class that implements Externalizable even if the containing class is not serializable. But only if the member class is static.

Do you have some sample code ?
