[jira] [Updated] (DIRMINA-930) Problems with ObjectSerializationCodecFactory using MINA in between Java 6 and Java 7

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-930?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marco Waimer updated DIRMINA-930:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
We use mina with the org.apache.mina.filter.codec.serialization.ObjectSerializationCodecFactory for our communication framework. Using Java 7 on one side (i.e. server) and Java 6 on the other side (i.e. client) leads to problems with the deserialisation, in our case with a java.util.Locale object, which has additional fields in Java 7. See attached stack traces.

We tracked the problem to org.apache.mina.core.buffer.AbstractIoBuffer.putObject(Object) and org.apache.mina.core.buffer.AbstractIoBuffer.getObject(ClassLoader), since this part is overriding java serialisation and omitting some class information, which will be needed for the deserialisation. 

Using the attached example the stack traces could easily be reproduced, running one part with Java 7 and the other with Java 6. The MinaServer will simply open a port and the MinaClient will send a java.util.Locale object to that port.

In MINA 1.1.7 ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream were used without overriding writeClassDescriptor, therefore the problem does not exist there.
