Serialization Problem with JBoss 7.1.3

[alexmaas]

Hello,

I'm new here, so i hope this is the right place for my question.

I've got a problem concerning serialization with JBoss.

I want to serialize an object and deserialize it later. My Class implements Serializable-Interface and got the method

private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException {

        this.setName("xxx");

        out.writeObject(this);

}

as it is needed.

the line: this.setName("xxx"); sets an attribute of the object.

The problem is that during serialization this value ("xxx") somehow is getting lost and the object's got a null-entry in this field...

Any help or solution?

Thanks!!

Not an AS question but I don't think you should be calling writeObject(this) in the writeObject. One would think that applying google to the problem should produce som examples.
