InstantiationException: java.util.HashMap$Values

[smievoll]

I'm returning a rather deep and complex object structure from an ejb3 stateless session bean to another, deployed in two different ears. The initiating bean is annotated with JSR-181 WS annotations. I'm running on 4.0.4.GA with jdk1.5.0_08 and have tried with both serialization 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. On returning from the session bean I get the following exception. Any ideas to what the cause may be or what I can do to further investigate?

[clebert.suconic]

When you replace jboss-serialization.jar, jboss-client.jar and jboss-allclient.jar still has the old version. It looks like something that was fixed before. (but I'm not sure about that).

How your class (Bookings) looks like?

[smievoll]

Yes, but the jars from the client directory isn't in the servers runtime classpath so those shouldn't have any effect? The booking structure isn't too easy to put into words, but it consists of a set of rather heavy dataholder classes (lots of class fields) and collections of similar classes multiple levels down.

One thing though; don't see why serialization is involved between the ejb's, rightly they are in separate ears, but still by ref should be possible. And in the callstack it seems local interface semantics is beeing used (from: org.jboss.ejb3.remoting.IsLocalInterceptor.invoke()), so shouldn't these values be sent by reference?

[smievoll]

Found the source of the problem in business logic external to our model. There the inner class java.util.HashMap$Values, which isn't serializable was used to populate the model through the java.util.Map.values() call. Therefore serialization rightfully fails when attempted. Sorry for the false alarm.

>so shouldn't these values be sent by reference?


If you want call=by-reference, use LocalInterfaces. You are probably use RemoteInterfaces.
