Not sure if this should be regarded as a problem or not, but I get a test failure when using IBM Java:
java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pwi3260-20071123_01) IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 Windows XP x86-32 jvmwi3260-20071121_15015 (JIT enabled) J9VM - 20071121_015015_lHdSMR JIT - r9_20071121_1330 GC - 20071031_AA) JCL - 20071118_01 [junit] Caused an ERROR [junit] org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ContextBase$MapEntryImpl incompatible with java.util.HashMap$Entry [junit] java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ContextBase$MapEntryImpl incompatible with java.util.HashMap $Entry [junit] at java.util.HashMap.writeObject(Unknown Source) [junit] at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.invokeWriteObject(ObjectStreamClass.java:957) [junit] at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeSerialData(ObjectOutputStream.java:1473) [junit] at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeOrdinaryObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:1404) [junit] at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1162) [junit] at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:338) [junit] at org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ContextBaseTestCase.testSeriaization(ContextBaseTestCase.java:368) [junit] Target 'internal-test' failed with message 'Test org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ContextBaseTestCase failed'. I've no idea why this error occurs, as the code in question says: "private class MapEntryImpl implements Map.Entry" There are some errors that Findbugs finds: org.apache.commons.chain.impl.ContextBase is Serializable; consider declaring a serialVersionUID Quite a few of these too: Non-serializable value stored into instance field of a serializable class: e.g. org.apache.commons.chain.web.portlet.PortletApplicationScopeMap stored into non-transient field PortletWebContext.applicationScope org.apache.commons.chain.web.portlet.PortletParamMap stored into non-transient field PortletWebContext.param Looks like the serialization tests are not picking these up. If no-one has reported any related problems then perhaps these particular classes are never serialized. These will probably be tricky to fix, so I guess they could be left for another release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
