[jira] Updated: (HARMONY-6228) [classlib][text] SimpleDateFormat serialization round trip fails with NPE

["Tim Ellison (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6228?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tim Ellison updated HARMONY-6228:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: sdf-read.jar
                sdf-hy.ser
                sdf-ri.ser

Looks like there may be a problem in serialization rather than specifically in the SimpleDateFormat.

I've attached three files:

sdf-hy.ser  = the serialized form of a simple date format instance, from harmony
sdf-ri.ser  = the same object serialized by the RI
sdf-read.jar = java code to read and compare the serialized instances

Here's what I see.

Using Harmony,
  read sdf-hy.ser returns false.  It should round trip as true.
  read sdf-ri.ser gives a segmentation error!

Using the RI,
  read sdf-hy.ser returns false.  It does not recognise our form.
  read sdf-ri.ser returns true.  The RI does round trip successfully.

Two questions arise:
1) why are we writing out the object in the wrong format
2) why do we seg fault when reading in the RI format
