Portable serialization

[ISAIAH]

Hello,
I have an application where I serialize an object to store file. The serialization and de-serialization is going very well on my Windows machine. However, my colleague can serialize without exception and that it create a good file, cons impossible to deserialize, displaying the message "invalid / corrupt. And if I give him a file where I serialized an object, it can not read, that it displays the same thing.

Hello,
Even I have a similar kind of a problem, here is my code.

try {
	ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
Guilt gl = (Guilt) input.readObject();
DrawinputgPanel fp = new DrawinputgPanel(gl, this);
	this.jTabbedPaneMainput.add(fp.getGuiLTS().getName(), Fap);
input.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
			"File is corrupt / inputvalid.",
			"Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I think something is missing in the try and the catch blocks. Not sure though but if you modify your ode, it would be great.

} catch (Exception ex) {
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
			"File is corrupt / invalid.",
			"Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}

Kindly handle the exception in your code properly, so that they can be catch the exact exception.

Hello,
I agree with the above, I think it would be better if you add the printtrace in your code. Here is the code.

} catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
			"File is corrupt / invalid.",
			"Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);}

By adding a printStackTrace () you'll have more details on the problem. Hope this will help you.

Hello,
Indeed, in addition to message users, I added a printStackTrace. I asked another colleague to test on his machine (linux) and it works very well. It even happens to read files between our 2 platforms (Windows and Linux), makes the problem only occurs on Mac. Any ideas about this behavior. If you know about any other method, then please do post back with the same.

Hello,
It works on other machines? Without error? good because the error is quite explicit. Here it is

java.io.NotSerializableExceptionJava.awt.geom.Rectangle2D$ Float

You seem to try to serialize an object type Rectangle2D.Float while it does not implement Serializable, it seems rather difficult. I think it is better if you add some other method or other logic in your code.
