>                 Key: LANG-788
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-788
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.1
>            Reporter: René Link
>
> If a serializable object contains a reference to a primitive class, e.g. int.class or int[].class, the SerializationUtils throw a ClassNotFoundException when trying to clone that object.
> {noformat}
> import org.apache.commons.lang3.SerializationUtils;
> import org.junit.Test;
> public class SerializationUtilsTest {
> 	
> 	@Test
> 	public void primitiveTypeClassSerialization(){
> 		Class<?> primitiveType = int.class;
> 		
> 		Class<?> clone = SerializationUtils.clone(primitiveType);
> 		assertEquals(primitiveType, clone);
> 	}
> }
> {noformat} 
> The problem was already reported as a java bug http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4171142 and ObjectInputStream is fixed since java version 1.4.
> The SerializationUtils problem arises because the SerializationUtils internally use the ClassLoaderAwareObjectInputStream that overrides the ObjectInputStream's
> resoleClass method without delegating to the super method in case of a ClassNotFoundException.
> I understand the intention of the ClassLoaderAwareObjectInputStream, but this implementation should also implement a fallback to the original implementation.
> For example:
> {noformat}
>         protected Class<?> resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
>             String name = desc.getName();
>             try {
>                 return Class.forName(name, false, classLoader);
>             } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
>             	try {
>             	     return Class.forName(name, false, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
>             	} catch (Exception e) {
> 		     return super.resolveClass(desc);
> 		}
>             }
>         }
> {noformat}
