Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6162:
--------------------------------------------------
I have set up a unit test on a PR branching off master before your fix:
https://github.com/apache/uima-uimaj/pull/16
The test in this PR fails because it builds on a version which doesn't include
your fix yet. When merging master into it, it should work.

> I suspect there could be an issue in `BinaryCasSerDes`.
> When deserializing the attached file `admin.ser`, I get this stack trace:

> I set a breakpoint to BinaryCasSerDes:1608 which is a for loop iterating over
> the heap. Apparently, the first feature structure that is encountered is an
> annotation type which is NOT the SOFA. Then in line 1700, the deserializer
> tries to resolve the SOFA for this annotation but fails because it has not
> yet been deserialized. Eventually makeSofaFromHeap is called and checks if a
> SOFA needs to be created. It tries to look up the SOFAs ID (1) from
> csds.addr2fs.get(sofaAddr) (BinaryCasSerDes:1821) and generates a new SOFA.
> However, when the SECOND annotation is read and csds.addr2fs.get(sofaAddr)
> (BinaryCasSerDes:1821) is called again and tries to resolve the SOFA from
> addr 1, it gets the previously deserialized annotation instead of the SOFA
> annotation that had been created.
> The SOFA that has been implicitly created is added to the csds.addr2fs map at
> key 1... however, later in BinaryCasSerDes:1723, the key 1 is overwritten by
> the deserialized annotation:
> {code}
> if (!isSofa) { // if it was a sofa, other code added or pended it
> csds.addFS(fs, heapIndex); // this overrides to SOFA that was
> created at key 1 because heapIndex is also 1
> }
> {code}
> The heap looks something like this:
> {code}
> [0, 187, 1, 33, 46, 199, 200, 201, 44, 202, 187, 1, 33, 46, 203, 204, 205,
> 45, 206, 187, 1, 33, 46, 207, 208, 209, 46, 210, 187, 1, 33, 46, 211, 212,
> 213, 47, 214, 187, 1, 33, 46, 215, 216, 217, 48, 1, 187, 1,...
> {code}
> I guess that 187 is the type code of the first annotation and we can see it
> repeats a couple of times. The 1 seems to be the SOFA ID - the first feature
> of the feature structures. However, instead of 1 referring to the address of
> the SOFA, it points at the first annotation which is NOT a SOFA.
> Bug in the serialization code assuming that the SOFA is always in the first
> position?
