Description

Serialization appears to work fine but deserialization fails to work at all.

The script;

import java.io.FileInputStream
import java.io.FileOutputStream
import java.io.ObjectInputStream
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream
import java.io.Serializable

class Blah implements Serializable {
  def x
  def y
  public Blah ( x , y ) {
    this.x = x
    this.y = y
  }
}

def fileName = 'thingy.txt'
def data = [ new Blah ( 1 , 2 ) , new Blah ( 'flob' , 'adob' ) ]
def file = new ObjectOutputStream ( new FileOutputStream ( fileName ) )
file.writeObject ( data )
file.close ( )
file = new ObjectInputStream ( new FileInputStream ( fileName ) )
def newData = file.readObject ( ) // ClassNotFoundException here.
assert data == newData

results in the output:

Caught: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Blah
